In [D] Dublin's fair [Bm] city, where [Em7] girls are so [A7] pretty,
I [D] first set my [Bm] eyes on sweet [E7] Molly Ma-[A7]lone,
As she [D] wheeled her wheel-[Bm]barrow,
Through [Em7] streets broad and [A7] narrow,
Crying, [D] cockles and [Bm] mussels, a-[A7]live, alive-[D]o!
{soc}
{c:Chorus:}
A-[D]live, alive-[Bm]o! A-[Em7]live, alive-[A7]o!
Crying, [D] cockles and [Bm] mussels, a-[A7]live, alive-[D]o!
{eoc}
She [D] was a fish-[Bm] monger, but [Em7] sure 'twas no [A7] wonder,
For [D] so were her [Bm] father and [E7] mother be-[A7]fore,
And they [D] each wheeled their [Bm] barrow,
Through [Em7] streets broad and [A7] narrow,
Crying, [D] cockles and [Bm] mussels, a-[A7]live, alive-[D]o!
{soc}
{c:Chorus:}
A-[D]live, alive-[Bm]o! A-[Em7]live, alive-[A7]o!
Crying, [D] cockles and [Bm] mussels, a-[A7]live, alive-[D]o!
{eoc}
She [D] died of a [Bm] fever, and [Em7] no one could [A7] save her
And [D] that was the [Bm] end of sweet [E7] Molly Ma-[A7] lone,
But her [D] ghost wheels her [Bm] barrow,
Through [Em7] streets broad and [A7] narrow,
Crying, [D] cockles and [Bm] mussels, a-[A7]live, alive-[D]o!
{soc}
{c:Chorus:}
A-[D]live, alive-[Bm]o! A-[Em7]live, alive-[A7]o!
Crying, [D] cockles and [Bm] mussels, a-[A7]live, alive-[D]o!
{eoc}
