G                 Em                  Am             D⁷
In Dublin’s fair city where the girls are so pretty

    G              Em                  Am           D⁷
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone

                G                       Em                           Am                     D⁷
As she wheeled her wheelbarrow through the streets broad and narrow

               G                 E m           G         D⁷ G
Crying: Cockles and Mussels, a-live, a-live oh!

Chorus:
A-live, a-live oh! A-live, a-live oh!
Crying: Cockles and Mussels, a-live, a-live oh!
A-live, a-live oh! A-live, a-live oh!
Crying: Cockles and Mussels, a-live, a-live oh!

She was a fishmonger, but sure ‚twas no wonder,
for so were her fathers and mothers before.
And they all wheel’d their barrow through streets broad an narrow
Crying: Cockles and Mussels, a-live, a-live oh!

Chorus

But I was a rover and sailed the seas over
I bid my farewell to sweet Molly Malone
And as I was sailin‘, the wild winds were wailin‘
Cryin‘ cockles and mussels alive, alive-o!

Chorus

She died of a fever and no-one could save her
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone.
But her ghost wheels her barrow through the streets broad and narrow0000
Crying: Cockles and Mussels, a-live, a-live oh!

Chorus
