Molly Malone

1^st Verse

In [G]Dublin's fair [Em]city, where the [Am]girls are so [D7]pretty

I [G]first set my [E7]eyes on sweet [A7]Molly Ma-[D7]lone

As she [G]wheeled her wheel-[Em]barrow through [Am]streets broad and [D7]narrow

Crying, [G]"Cockles and [Bm]mussels, a-[D7]live, alive, [G]oh!"

Chorus

"A-[G]live, alive, [Em]oh, a-[Am]live, alive, [D7]oh"

Crying [G]"Cockles and [Bm]mussels, a-[D7]live, alive, [G]oh!"

2^nd Verse

She [G]was a fish-[Em]monger and [Am]sure 'twas no [D7]wonder

For [G]so were her [E7]father and [A7]mother be-[D7]fore

And they [G]each wheeled their [Em]barrow through [Am]streets broad and [D7]narrow

Crying, [G]"Cockles and [Bm]mussels, a-[D7]live, alive, [G]oh!"   (→ Chorus)

3^rd Verse

She [G]died of a [Em]fever and [Am]no one could [D7]save her

And [G]that was the [E7]end of sweet [A7]Molly Ma-[D7]lone

Now her [G]ghost wheels her [Em]barrow through [Am]streets broad and [D7]narrow

Crying, [G]"Cockles and [Bm]mussels, a-[D7]live, alive, [G]oh!"   (→ Chorus)
