Carrickfergus chords Irish Folk ("There Was a Noblewoman") as performed by Paddy Reilly * Capo II G G Am D G Em I wish I was in Carrickfergus, Am D C G Gsus4 G only for nights in Ballygran Am D G Em I would swim over the deepest ocean, Am D C G Gsus4 G only for nights in Ballygran G Em C D But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over Em G C D And neither have I the wings to fly Am D G I wish I could find me a handsome boatsman Am D C G To ferry me over, to my love and die. G Am D G Em But in Kilkenny, it is reported, Am D C G Gsus4 G On marble stones there as black as ink Am D G Em With gold and silver I would support her, Am D G C G But I'll sing no more now, 'till I get a drink. G Em C D For I'm drunk today, and I'm seldom sober, Em G C D A handsome rover from town to town Am D G Gsus4 G Ah, but I'm sick now, my days are numbered, Am D C G Come all you young men and lay me down. * Live version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0S9bIOK790 Set8 http://sites.google.com/site/guitarmusicchordsandlyrics/
