The chords to The Ferryman are presented here in the key of A Major – the key used by The Dubliners with Patsy Watchorn on vocals.
The
A
little boats are gone from the
D
breast of Anna
A
Liffey
The
D
ferryman is stranded on the
E
quay
Sure the
A
Dublin docks is dying and a
D
way of life is
A
gone
And
E
Molly it was
E7
part of you and
A
me
Chorus
Where the
E
Strawberry beds sweep
D
down to the
A
Liffey
You
D
kissed away the worry from my
E
brow
I
A
love you well today and I’ll
D
love you more to
A
morrow
If you
E
ever loved me
E7
Molly love me
A
now
T’was the only job I knew, it was hard but never lonely
The Liffey ferry made a man of me
And it’s gone without a whisper and forgotten even now
And sure it’s over Molly over can’t you see
Well now I’ll tend the yard and I’ll spend me days in talking
And I’ll hear them whisper Charlie’s on the dole
But Molly we’re still living and darling we’re still young
And that river never owned me heart and soul
