[Verse 1]
     G        D                G
I'll walk the miles from Ballintoy
   Em      D       Bm       C
No shining moon to light my way
 G         D              G
Across the fields of Larrybane
    Em       D            Bm      C      G  C
And the rope bridge where my love waits

[Verse 2]
    G     D                G
The fishermen lie in their beds
    Em     D        Bm           C
The salmon spawn in Moyle's blue sea
    G              D       G
And you lie there upon the grass
Em          D     Bm        C
Waiting for me on Carrick-a-rede

[Chorus]
D                      C      G
One step and two, hold tight, let go
D                     C          Em  C
Twenty-and-four, hold tight, let go____
G                     D       G
I'm nearly there, let go, let go

[Verse 3]
                D         G
I will find you where you lie
    Em       D      Bm       C
And steal in soft under your coat
G                D        G
We will tell our stories, love
    Em       D          Bm      C      G  C
And sing our songs out, every note

[Chorus]
D                      C      G
One step and two, hold tight, let go
D                     C          Em  C
Twenty-and-four, hold tight, let go____
G                     D       G
I'm nearly there, let go, let go

[Verse 4]
                     D         G
Your sweet kiss will bring the rest
     Em       D         Bm      C
Your mouth on my mouth, wave on wave
G                D          G
We will meet the sea's loud roar
   Em     D      Bm        C      G  C
No better way to cheat the grave

[Chorus]
D                      C      G
One step and two, hold tight, let go
D                     C          Em  C
Twenty-and-four, hold tight, let go____
G                     D
I'm nearly there, let go

[Chorus]
                       C      G
One step and two, hold tight, let go
D                     C          Em  C
Twenty-and-four, hold tight, let go____
G                     D       G
I'm nearly there, let go, let go
    D       G
Let go, let go
