Dublin City Ramblers, The Ferryman (1983)
^{Key: :[A] (w: Pete St. John)}

INTRO: [D] [A] ^[E]^[E7] [A]

VERSE 1:
The [A] little boats are [E] gone, from the [D] breast of Anna [A] Liffey
And the [D] ferrymen are [D] stranded on the [E] quay
Sure the [A] Dublin docks is dying, and a [D] way of life is [A] gone
And [E] Molly it was [E7] part of you and [A] me

CHORUS:
Where the [E] Strawberry beds, sweep [D] down to the [A] Liffey
You [D] kiss away the [D] worries from my [E] brow
I [A] love you well today, and I'll [D] love you more to-[A]-morrow
If you [E] ever love me [E7] Molly, love me [A] now

VERSE 2:
T'was the [A] only job I [E] knew, it was [D] hard but never [A] lonely
The [D] Liffey ferry [D] made a man of [E] me
And it's [A] gone without a whisper, and for-[D]-gotten even [A] now
Sure it's [E] over Molly [E7] over, can't you [A] see

REPEAT CHORUS:

BREAK: [D] [A] ^[E]^[E7] [A]

VERSE 3:
Well [A] now I'll tent the [E] yard, and I'll [D] spend me days in [A] talking
And I'll [D] hear them whisper [D] Charlie's on the [E] dole
But [A] Molly we're still living, and [D] darling we're still [A] young
And that [E] river never [E7] owned me heart and [A] soul

REPEAT CHORUS: [x3]
