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

INTRO: [C#] [G#] ^[D#]^[D#7] [G#]

VERSE 1:
The [G#] little boats are [D#] gone, from the [C#] breast of Anna [G#] Liffey
And the [C#] ferrymen are [C#] stranded on the [D#] quay
Sure the [G#] Dublin docks is dying, and a [C#] way of life is [G#] gone
And [D#] Molly it was [D#7] part of you and [G#] me

CHORUS:
Where the [D#] Strawberry beds, sweep [C#] down to the [G#] Liffey
You [C#] kiss away the [C#] worries from my [D#] brow
I [G#] love you well today, and I'll [C#] love you more to-[G#]-morrow
If you [D#] ever love me [D#7] Molly, love me [G#] now

VERSE 2:
T'was the [G#] only job I [D#] knew, it was [C#] hard but never [G#] lonely
The [C#] Liffey ferry [C#] made a man of [D#] me
And it's [G#] gone without a whisper, and for-[C#]-gotten even [G#] now
Sure it's [D#] over Molly [D#7] over, can't you [G#] see

REPEAT CHORUS:

BREAK: [C#] [G#] ^[D#]^[D#7] [G#]

VERSE 3:
Well [G#] now I'll tent the [D#] yard, and I'll [C#] spend me days in [G#] talking
And I'll [C#] hear them whisper [C#] Charlie's on the [D#] dole
But [G#] Molly we're still living, and [C#] darling we're still [G#] young
And that [D#] river never [D#7] owned me heart and [G#] soul

REPEAT CHORUS: [x3]
