F Dm
In Dublin fair city
Gm C7
Where girls are so pretty
F G7 C7
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
F Dm
As she wheeled her wheel barrow
Gm C7
Through streets broad and narrow,
F C7
Crying 'Cockles and mussels, alive, alive-o!'
Chorus:
FDm GmC7
'alive, alive-o! Alive, alive-o!'
F C7 F
Crying 'Cockles and mussels, alive, alive-o!'

She was a fishmonger
But sure 'teas no wonder
For so were her father and mother before,
And they each wheeled their barrow
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying 'Cockles and mussels, alive, alive-o!'
Chorus:

She died of a fewer,
And no one could save her,
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone,
But her ghost wheels her barrow
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying 'Cockles and mussels, alive, alive-o!'
Chorus:

Rhythm: Sort of unofficial anthem of Dublin, aka "Molly Malone"
