C#m F# B G#m I wish I was, in Carrickfergus F#sus4 F# B Only for nights, in Ballygrant C#m F# B G#m I would swim over the deepest ocean F#sus4 F# B The deepest ocean to be by your side B G#m F# But the sea is wide and I can’t swim over G#m F# And nor have I the wings to fly C#m F# B G#m If I could find me a handy boatman C#m F# B To ferry me over to my love and die My childhood days bring back sad reflections Of happy time spend so long ago My boyhood friends and my own relations Have all passed on like the melting snow I'll spend my days in endless roving Soft is the grass and my bed is free Oh to be home now in Carrickfergus On the long road down to the salty sea And in Kilkenny it is reported On marble stone as black as ink With gold and silver I did support her But I'll sing no more now till I get a drink For I'm drunk today and I'm rarely sober A handsome rover from town to town Oh but I am sick now and my days are numbered So come on ye young men and lay me down." | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsB  C#m  F#  F#sus4  G#m  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
