[Em]
[A] [D] In Dublin's [Bm] fair city, where the [Em] girls are [A] so pretty,
[D] I first set [Bm]
my eyes on [Em] sweet Molly [A] Malone.
As [D] she wheeled her [Bm] wheelbarrow through [Em] streets [A] broad and narrow,
[D] crying [F#m] cockles and mussels, [D]
alive, alive, oh!
[Bm]
[Em] Alive, [A] alive, oh!
[D] Crying cockles [F#m] and mussels,
[D] alive, alive, oh!
She was a [Bm]
fishmonger, [Em] and sure, t [A]'was no wonder,
[D] for so were [Bm] her father
[Em] and mother [A] before.
And [D] they both wheeled [Bm] their barrows through [Em]
streets [A] broad and narrow,
[D] crying cockles [F#m] and mussels, [D] alive, alive, oh!
[Bm]
[Em] Alive, [A] alive, oh!
[D] Crying cockles and [F#m] [E] mussels, [D]
alive, alive, oh!
She died [Bm] of a fever,
[Bm] and no one [A] could save her,
[D] and that [B] was the end of [Em] sweet Molly [A] Malone.
[D] And our ghost wheels [Bm] her barrow [Em] through streets [A] broad and narrow,
[D] crying cockles [F#m] and mussels,
[D] alive, [A] alive, [D] oh!
[Bm] [Em]
Alive, alive, [A] oh!
[D] Crying cockles [F#m] and mussels, [D] alive, alive, oh!
[Bm]
[Em] Alive, alive, [A]
oh!
[D] Crying [F#m] cockles and mussels, [D]
alive, alive, oh!
