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.
