Liam Clancy - Fiddler's Green


CAPO: 2nd Fret



[INTRO:] C majorC

[VERSE 1:]
           FF      C majorC     A minorAm
As I walked down the dockside one evening so fair
  C majorC       FF       C majorC       G+G
To view the still waters and to take the salt air
 FF           C majorC
I heard an old fisherman singing a song
     G+G           C majorC      G+G
He said, "Take me away lads, me time is not long"

[CHORUS:]
    C majorC    G+G      C majorC
Wrap me up in me oilskins and jumper
  FF      C majorC       G+G
No more on the docks I'll be seen
   FF             C majorC
Just tell me old shipmates, I'm taking a trip mates
  G+G                 C majorC    G+G  C majorC
And I'll see you one day in Fiddler's Green


[VERSE 2:]
        FF     C majorC        A minorAm
Now, Fiddler's Green is a place I've heard tell
   C majorC     FF     C majorC      G+G
Where fishermen go if they don't go to hell
     FF            C majorC
Where the weather is fair and the dolphins do play
    G+G              C majorC     G+G
And the cold coasts of Greenland are far, far away


[CHORUS:]
    C majorC    G+G      C majorC
Wrap me up in me oilskins and jumper
  FF      C majorC       G+G
No more on the docks I'll be seen
   FF             C majorC
Just tell me old shipmates, I'm taking a trip mates
  G+G                 C majorC
And I'll see you one day in Fiddler's Green

[VERSE 3:]
          FF        C majorC    A minorAm
Oh, the weather is fair and there's never a gale
    C majorC     FF       C majorC       G+G
And the fish jump aboard with one swish of their tail
    FF              C majorC
You can lie in your hammock, there's no work to do
    G+G           C majorC      G+G
And the skipper's below making tea for the crew


[CHORUS:]
    C majorC    G+G      C majorC
Wrap me up in me oilskins and jumper
  FF      C majorC       G+G
No more on the docks I'll be seen
   FF             C majorC
Just tell me old shipmates, I'm taking a trip mates
  G+G                 C majorC    G+G  C majorC
And I'll see you one day in Fiddler's Green


[VERSE 4:]
          FF     C majorC     A minorAm
Oh, I don't need a harp nor a halo, not me
   C majorC     FF      C majorC      G+G
Just give me a breeze and a good rolling sea
     FF              C majorC
And I'll play this old squeezebox as we sail along
     G+G           C majorC     G+G
With the wind in the rigging to sing me a song


[CHORUS:]
    C majorC    G+G      C majorC
Wrap me up in me oilskins and jumper
  FF      C majorC       G+G
No more on the docks I'll be seen
   FF             C majorC
Just tell me old shipmates, I'm taking a trip mates
  G+G                 C majorC    G+G  C majorC
