C F C Am
As I walked by the dockside one evening so fair
C F C G
to view the salt waters and take the salt air
F C
I heard an old fisherman singing a song
G C G
Oh take me away boys me time is not long'
CHORUS
C G C
Wrap me up in me oilskins and jumpers
F C G
no more on the docks I'll be seen
F C
Just tell me old shipmates I'm taking a trip mates
G G7 C
and I'll see you some day on Fiddler's Green
C F C Am
Now Fiddler's Green is a place I've heard tell
C F C G
where the fishermen go if they don't go to hell
F C
Where the skies are all clear and the dolphins do play
G C G
and the cold coast of Greenland is far far away
CHORUS
C F C Am
Where the skies are all clear and there's never a gale
C F C G
and the fish jump on board with one swish of their tail
F C
Where you lie at your leisure there's no work to do
G C G
and the skipper's below making tea for the crew
CHORUS
C F C Am
When you get back on docks and the long trip is through
C F C G
there's pubs and there's clubs and there's lassies there too
F C
Where the girls are all pretty and the beer it is free
G C G
and there's bottles of rum growing from every tree
CHORUS
C F C Am
Now I don't want a harp nor a halo not me
C F C G
just give me a breeze on a good rolling sea
F C
I'll play me old squeezebox as we sail along
G C G
with the wind in the rigging to sing me a song
CHORUS
