Carrickfergus chords
Irish Folk ("There Was a Noblewoman") as performed by Paddy Reilly

Capo II

  G      Am  D          G      EmI wish I was  in Carrickfergus,
         Am    D   C    G    Gsus4only for nights in Ballygran
             Am  D            G     EmI would swim over the deepest ocean,
         Am    D   C    G   Gsus4only for nights in Ballygran

        G      Em         C           D                   But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over
            Em   G     C        DAnd neither have I the wings to fly
               Am  D              G     I wish I could find me a handsome boatsman
            Am   D      C        GTo ferry me over, to my love and die.

    G     Am   D         G      EmBut in Kilkenny, it is reported,
          Am     D        C        G   Gsus4On marble stones there as black as ink
              Am    D           G        EmWith gold and silver I would support her,
                 Am   D                  G     C GBut 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       DA handsome rover from town to town
            Am       D            G        Gsus4Ah, but I'm sick now, my days are numbered,
             Am    D       C      GCome all you young men and lay me down.
