Version 1 Version 2
[Verse One]
G Em Am D7
In Dublin's fair city, where the girls are so pretty,
G Em A D
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 C G
Crying cockles and mussels,
C G D G
A-live, A-live oh.
[Chorus]
G Em
A-live, alive O,
Am D7
A-live, alive O,
G C Bm
Crying cockles and mussels,
C G D G
A-live, alive oh.
[Verse Two]
G Em Am D7
She was a fishmonger, and sure twas no wonder,
G Em A D
For so were her Father and Mother before.
G Em Am D7
And they wheeled their barrow, through the streets broad and narrow,
G C G
Crying Cockles and Mussels,
C G D G
A-live, a-live oh.
[Chorus]
G Em
A-live, alive O,
Am D7
A-live, alive O,
G C Bm
Crying cockles and mussels,
C G D G
A-live, alive oh.
[Verse Three]
G Em Am D7
She died of a fever, and sure no one could save her,
G Em A D
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone.
G Em Am D7
Now her ghost wheels her barrow, through the streets broad and narrow,
G C G
Crying Cockles and Mussels
C G D G
A-live, A-live oh.
[Chorus]
G Em
A-live, alive O,
Am D7
A-live, alive O,
G C Bm
Crying cockles and mussels,
C G D G
A-live, alive oh.
G Em
A-live, alive O,
Am D7
A-live, alive O,
G C Bm
Crying cockles and mussels,
C G D G
A-live, alive oh.
