[Intro]
Am D Am D Am D C
[Verse]
G C
I saw the big ship leaving
F Am
Roxy saw it too
D
You were never bad enough for me, darling
Am D F
I was never good enough for you
[Verse]
G
Those little moments late at night
C
When for no darn reason
F
You'd wake up and fight
C G F C
I've stayed in Carrickfergus a day too long___
[Verse]
G C
She said the castle was a mystery, could I tell her its history
F Am
What didn't I know
D
It's just a pile of stones, they've always been there
Am D F
I've never had a reason to go
[Verse]
G
Sometimes it's better just to follow your nose
C
She was banging on the doors
F
But the castle was closed
C G F C
I've stayed in Carrickfergus a day too long___
[Verse]
E7 F
Goodness me, it's no distance from Antrim to Afland
E7 F
We could leave the car here and all be in Scotland for tea
E7 F
And Roxy looked for the ferry to take us to Dublin town
C G C
Oh, but it might have been better if they'd all just stayed here with me
[Verse]
G C
Was that the rain on my back, was that the wind in my face
F Am
Was it the shingle shore
D
Or just sitting on the same wooden bench
Am D F
We'd shared back in 'seventy-four
[Verse]
G
I smoked, I told her some jokes
C
Drank some whiskey and Cokes
F
She got me drunk as a lord
C G F C
And I stayed in Carrickfergus a day too long___
G F C
I know I stayed in Carrickfergus a day too long___
[Verse]
E7 F
Glory be, I hoped I'd be better than nothing
E7 F
And if you want something pretty to look at, go look at that sea
E7
You had time on your hands and we loved the same bands
F
You walked far too quickly, I could not hold hands
C G C
But if that's okay with you, darling, hey, it's okay by me
[Verse]
G C
She said the castle was a mystery, could I tell her its history
F
But I didn't know
C G F C
I guess I stayed in Carrickfergus a day too long___
G F C
I guess I stayed in Carrickfergus a day too long___
C G F C
I guess I stayed in Carrickfergus a day too long___
