Chords + Lyrics: [ Carrick-a-Rede ]
Key: G
Intro: G.......D..G.......D..G.......D
1)
.....G.................................D......G
I'll walk the miles from Ballintoy
.......Em/G.....D............Bm7......C
No shining moon to light my way
..G...............................D.....G
Across the fields of Larrybane
.........Em/G.....D.....................Bm7......C
And the rope bridge where my love waits
2)
........G......................D.........G
The fishermen lie in their beds
.........Em/G.....D..............Bm7.............C
The salmon spawn in Moyle's blue sea
........G.....................D............G
And you lie there upon the grass
Em/G...........D.........Bm7.........C
Waiting for me on Carrick-a-rede
Chorus:
D.......................................C.......G
One step and two, hold tight, let go
D.....................................C..........Em/G.....C
Twenty and four, hold tight, let go ........ oh...
G................................D........G
I'm nearly there, let go, let go
Repeat Intro
3)
I will find you where you lie
And steal in soft under your coat
We will tell our stories, love
And sing our songs out, every note
Repeat Chorus
4) (softly)
Your sweet kiss will bring the rest
Your mouth on my mouth, wave on wave
We will meet the sea's loud roar
No better way to cheat the grave
Repeat Chorus 2 x
Let go, let go...

Ha, nothing like a little googling to learn the meaning of the song.
I had no idea what the chorus was about until I saw this video. It's cute that it's a song about mustering the courage to cross the bridge, and anticipation of what waits on the other side.

Hello Amy, I've added the chords to the lyrics for you - pls check the text on the right.
The challenge with this song is to get the right strumming rhythm and tone.
If you're interested, I could make a video showing how i cover this song - maybe that could be of some help!
