In (G) Dublin's fair (Em) city, where the (Am) girls are so pretty,

I (G) first set my (E7) eyes on sweet (A7)Molloy Ma(D7)lone.

As she (G) wheeled a wheel(Em)barrow, through (D7)streets broad and narrow,

Crying: (G) Cockles and (D) Mussels, (Am)A(Em)live, A(D)live (G)O.

CHORUS:

A(G)live, alive (Em)O,

A(Am)live, alive (D7)O,

Crying, (G) Cockles and (D)Mussels,

(Am)A(Em)live, a(D7)live (G) O.

VERSE 2:

She (G) was a fish(Em)monger, and (Am) sure twas no wonder,

For (G) so were her (E7) Father and (A7) Mother be(D7)fore.

And they (G) all wheeled their (Em) barrows, through (D7)streets broad and narrow,

Crying (G) Cockles and (D) Mussels, (Am)A(Em) live, a(D)live (G) O.

CHORUS :

VERSE 3:

She (G) died of a (Em)fever, and (Am)no one to 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 (D7) streets broad and narrow,

Crying: (G) Cockles and (D) Mussels, (Am)a(Em)live, a(D)live (G) O.

CHORUS:
