Intro: C G F G

C            Dm  G     C
I wish I was in Carrickfergus
             Dm      G        C
where she is waiting, my rainbow's end
             Dm  G            C
I would swim over the deepest ocean
         F      G           C
just to see her sweet smile again

                   F                 G
but the sea is wide and I cannot get over
         C F               G
nor have I   the wings to fly
C        Dm    G         C
I wish I knew a friendly boatsman
            F       G               C
to ferry me back to my sweetheart's side

           Dm       G  C
I close my eyes and I remember
              Dm   G            C
the fields of green and flowers gold
               Dm     G      C
where we would walk in sunlit meadows
               F      G           C
how my heart's longing to be back home


                    F                G
but the sea is wide and I cannot get over
         C F            G
nor have I the wings to fly
                 Dm  G      C
so I’ll just dream of Carrickfergus
          Dm G         C
and the day I said goodbye
            Dm G            F  C
now and forever my love and I
