 In Dublin's  fair city,
 where the girls  are so pretty,
 I first  set my eyes  on sweet Molly  Malone,
 As she wheeled  her wheel-barrow,
 Through streets  broad and narrow,
 Crying, "Cockles  and mussels,  alive,  alive, oh!"
 "Alive,  alive, oh,
 Alive,  alive, oh",
 Crying "Cockles  and mussels,  alive,  alive, oh".
 She was  a fishmonger,
 And sure  'twas no wonder,
 For so  were her father  and mother  before,
 And they each  wheeled their barrow,
 Through streets  broad and narrow,
 Crying, "Cockles  and mussels,  alive,  alive, oh!"
 "Alive,  alive, oh,
 Alive,  alive, oh",
 Crying "Cockles  and mussels,  alive,  alive, oh".
 She died  of a fever,
 And no  one could save  her,
 And that  was the end  of sweet Molly  Malone.
 Now her ghost  wheels her barrow,
 Through streets  broad and narrow,
 Crying, "Cockles  and mussels,  alive,  alive, oh!"
 "Alive,  alive, oh,
 Alive,  alive, oh",
 Crying "Cockles  and mussels,  alive,  alive, oh".

Readable chord sheet for Molly Malone by Traditional Irish

In [C]Dublin's fair [Am]city,
where the [Dm]girls are so [G]pretty,
I [C]first set my [Em]eyes on sweet [Dm]Molly Ma[G]lone,
As she [C]wheeled her wheel-[Am]barrow,
Through [Dm]streets broad and [G]narrow,
Crying, "[C]Cockles and [Em]mussels, a[G]live, alive, [C]oh!"

"A[C]live, alive, [Am]oh,
A[Dm]live, alive, [G]oh",
Crying "[C]Cockles and [Em]mussels, a[G]live, alive, [C]oh".

She [C]was a fish[Am]monger,
And [Dm]sure 'twas no [G]wonder,
For [C]so were her [Em]father and [Dm]mother be[G]fore,
And they [C]each wheeled their [Am]barrow,
Through [Dm]streets broad and [G]narrow,
Crying, "[C]Cockles and [Em]mussels, a[G]live, alive, [C]oh!"

"A[C]live, alive, [Am]oh,
A[Dm]live, alive, [G]oh",
Crying "[C]Cockles and [Em]mussels, a[G]live, alive, [C]oh".

She [C]died of a [Am]fever,
And [Dm]no one could [G]save her,
And [C]that was the [Em]end of sweet [Dm]Molly Ma[G]lone.
Now her [C]ghost wheels her [Am]barrow,
Through s[Dm]treets broad and [G]narrow,
Crying, "[C]Cockles and [Em]mussels, a[G]live, alive, [C]oh!"

"A[C]live, alive, [Am]oh,
A[Dm]live, alive, [G]oh",
Crying "[C]Cockles and [Em]mussels, a[G]live, alive, [C]oh".
