Chords for Molly Malone (ukulele tutorial by MUJ)

_ _ _ _ Hey there, I'll be playing Molly Malone, an Irish traditional song first published in 1883,
although I don't think anybody knows who actually wrote it.
I'm gonna play it straight from the chord charts of the Morristown Uke Jam,
so take the link in the video description and you can play along with me,
or if you're going to be in Morristown, [Ab] New Jersey, come play along with us in person.
After the song, I'll do a [C] basic tutorial. _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
[G] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
In _ Dublin's [Am] fair city, [Dm] where the girls are [G] so pretty,
[C] I first set [Am] my eyes on [Dm] sweet Molly _ [G] Malone. _
[C] As she _ wheeled her [Am] _ wheelbarrow [Dm] through streets broad [G] and narrow,
[C] crying _ cockles [Am] and _ mussels,
[Dm] _ _ [G] Alive, [C] alive, oh, _ _ alive, _ [Am] alive, oh,
_ [Dm] _ Alive, [G] alive, oh, [C] crying cockles [Am] and mussels,
_ [Dm] _ _ [G] Alive, [C] alive, oh,
_ _ _ _ She was a [Am] _ fishmonger, _ [Dm] and sure it was [G] no wonder,
_ [C] For so were [Am] her father _ [Dm] and mother _ [G] before,
_ [C] And they both wheeled [Am] their barrows [Dm] through streets [G] broad and narrow,
_ [C] Crying cockles [Am] and mussels,
[Dm] _ _
[G] Alive, [C] alive, oh, _ _ alive, [Am] alive, oh,
_ [Dm] _ Alive, [G] alive, oh, [C] crying _ cockles [Am] and mussels,
_ [Dm] _ Alive, [G] [C] alive, oh, _ _ _ _
She died of [Am] a fever, _ [Dm] and no one [G] could save her,
[C] And that was [Am] the _ end [Dm] of sweet Molly _ [G] Malone, _
[C] But her ghost wheels [Am] her barrow [Dm] through streets broad [G] and narrow,
[C] Crying _ cockles [Am] and _ mussels,
[Dm] _ _ [G] Alive, [C] alive, oh, _ _ alive, [Am] alive, oh, _
_ [Dm] _ Alive, [G] alive, oh, [C] crying cockles [Am] and mussels,
_ [Dm] _ Alive, [G] [C] alive, oh, _ alive, _ [Am] alive, oh,
_ [Dm] _ _ Alive, [G] alive, oh, _ [C] crying cockles [Am] and mussels,
_ [Dm] _ _ [G] Alive, [C] alive, _ oh,
_ _ Sweet, _ sad song.
Wonderful.
_ Awesome beginner song.
Four chords, and [Bb] it really doesn't ask for any more than that.
So, not much of a tutorial needed.
I'm really just going to tell you [Ab] about the strum that I used.
[C] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ Down, down, [G] up, [C] _
down.
Sorry.
_ Down, down, up, down.
Down, down, up, down.
Down, down, up, down.
Down, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ down, up, [Ab] down.
And you know what?
This song's [B] easy enough.
I'm not even going to tell you anything more.
