C G C F C I wish I was in Carrickfergus. Where she is waiting, my rainbows end. G C F C I would swim over the deepest ocean just to see her sweet smile again. Chorus: F G F G But the sea is wide and I cannot get over. Nor have I the wings to fly. F C F C GFC I wish I knew a friendly boatsman to ferry me back to my sweethearts side. G C F C I close my eyes and I remember the fields of green and flowers gold. G C F C Where we would walk in sunlit meadows. How my hearts longing to be back home. Chorus: F G F G But the sea is wide and I cannot get over. Nor have I the wings to fly. F C F C So I'll just dream of Carrickfergus and the day I said goodbye. F C F G Now and forever, my love and I. F C F C So I'll just dream of Carrickfergus and the day I said goodbye. F C Now and forever my love and I.
