[Intro]
C   G   D   G
C   G   D   G
 
[Verse 1]
    G                              C              G
The little boats are gone from the breast of Anna Liffey
    C                           D
The ferryman is stranded on the quay
         G                           C              G
Sure the Dublin docks is dying and a way of life is gone
    D            D7              G
And Molly it was part of you and me
 
[Chorus]
          D                     C           G
Where the Strawberry beds sweep down to the Liffey
    C                               D
You kissed away the worries from my brow
  G                            C               G
I love you well today and I'll love you more tomorrow
       D            D7            G
If you ever love me Molly love me now
 
[Verse 2]
          G                      C              G
T'was the only job I knew it was hard but never lonely
    C                          D
The Liffey ferry made a man of me
         G                          C              G
And it's gone without a whisper and forgotten even now
    D              D7                   G
And sure it's over Molly over can't you see
 
[Chorus]
          D                     C           G
Where the Strawberry beds sweep down to the Liffey
    C                               D
You kissed away the worries from my brow
  G                            C               G
I love you well today and I'll love you more tomorrow
       D            D7            G
If you ever love me Molly love me now
 
[Break]
C   G   D   G
C   G   D   G
 
[Verse 3]
     G                               C                G
Well now I'll tend the yard and I'll spend me days in talking
         C                                  D
And I'll hear them whisper Charlie's on the dole
    G                            C                   G
But Molly we're still living and darling we're still young
         D           D7                 G
And that river never owned me heart and soul
 
[Chorus]
          D                     C           G
Where the Strawberry beds sweep down to the Liffey
    C                               D
You kissed away the worries from my brow
  G                            C               G
I love you well today and I'll love you more tomorrow
       D            D7            G
If you ever love me Molly love me now
 
[Outro]
          D                     C           G
Where the Strawberry beds sweep down to the Liffey
    C                               D
You kissed away the worries from my brow
  G                            C               G
I love you well today and I'll love you more tomorrow
       D            D7            G
If you ever love me Molly love me now
       D            D7            G   C   G   D G
If you ever love me Molly love me now
