[Verse 1]
D                Bm              Em           A
In Dublin's fair city, where the girls are so pretty

  D            Bm            Em      A
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone

       D                 Bm
As she wheeled her wheel-barrow

        Em                A
Through streets broad and narrow

       D           Bm        A           D
Crying cockles and mussels, alive, alive-O!
[Chorus]
D           Bm   Em          A
Alive, alive-O! alive, alive-O!

       D           Bm        A           D
Crying cockles and mussels, alive, alive-O!
[Verse 2]
D              Bm          Em            A
She was a fish-monger, but sure 'twas no wonder

    D           Bm         Em       A
For so were her father and mother before

         D                  Bm
And they each wheeled their barrow

        Em                A
Through streets broad and narrow

       D           Bm        A           D
Crying cockles and mussels, alive, alive-O!
[Chorus]
D           Bm   Em          A
Alive, alive-O! alive, alive-O!

       D           Bm        A           D
Crying cockles and mussels, alive, alive-O!
[Verse 3]
    D         Bm         Em           A
She died of a fever, and no one could save her

    D            Bm           Em      A
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone

        D                Bm
But her ghost wheels her barrow

        Em                A
Through streets broad and narrow

       D           Bm        A           D
Crying cockles and mussels, alive, alive-O!
[Chorus]
D           Bm   Em          A
Alive, alive-O! alive, alive-O!

       D           Bm        A           D
Crying cockles and mussels, alive, alive-O!
