(Traditional Arranged by Bryan Ferry)
Intro: D Gadd9 D Bm7 D Gadd9 D // Gadd9Dsus4/G
I w[Bm7]ish I w[A]as in Carrickf[D]ergus[Gadd9][D]
Only f[G]or n[A]ights [G]in B[G/B]allygr[D]and[Dsus4][D]
I would swim over the deepest ocean
Just to see my love before I die
(NC) D Bm A D/A A
But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over
Nor have I w[D]ings[Bm] so I could fl[A]y
I wish I could meet a handsome b[D]oatman[Gadd9][D]
To carry m[G]e [A]over m[G]y l[G/B]ove and [D]I[Dsus4][D]
In Kilkenny it is reported
On marble stones as black as ink
With gold and silver I did support her
But I'll sing no more till I've had a drink
Well I'm drunk today and I'm seldom sober
A handsome rover from town to town
But I am sick now my days are numbered
Come all you young men and lay me down
Come all you young men and lay me down
