  Tremolo - Capo III

    A           Bm  A
With our nets and gear we're faring
    A     Bm   A  E
On the wild and wasteful ocean.
     A      Bm    A     Bm      A  A G# F#m
It's out there on the deep we harvest and reap - our bread
    A       D    E  A
As we hunt the bonny shoals o herrin

   A       D     A
O it was a fine and a pleasant summers day
A      A   G#   F#   E
Out of Yarmouth harbour I was faring
E/G# F# A   D       A   F#m
As a cabin boy on a sailing lugger
     A       D     E  A
We were up to hunt the shoals of herring

   A       D     A
Now the work was hard and the hours long
A      A   G#   F#   E
and the treatment surely took some bearing
E/G# F#  A        D         A  A  G# F#m
there was little kindness and the kicks were many
     A       D   E  A
as we hunted for the shoals o herrin

   A          D     A
Now we fished the Swarth and the Broken Bank
A      A   G#   F#   E
I was cook and I'd a quarter share in
E/G# F# A      D       A A  G# F#m
And I used to sleep standing on me feet
     A        D    E  A
And I dreamed about the shoals o herrin

   A          D        A
We left the home grounds in the month of June
A      A   G#   F#   E
And for Canny Shiels we soon were bearing
E/G# F# A      D        A  A  G# F#m
With a hundred cran of the silver darlings
     A        D    E  A
That we'd taken from the shoals o herrin

  A        D       A
In the stormy seas and the living gales
A      A   G#   F#      E
Just to earn your daily bread you're daring
E/G# F# A       D         A A  G# F#m
From the Dover Straits to the Faroe Islands
     A        D    E  A
And you're following the shoals o herrin

  A           D     A
Now you're up on deck, you're a fisherman
A      A   G#   F#   E
You can swear and show a manly bearing
E/G# F# A        D        A  A  G# F#m
Take your turn on deck with the other fellows
     A        D    E  A
As you're following the shoals o herrin


[Tremolo]

    A      Bm A
Night and day we’re farin
    A  Bm   A    E
Come winter wind or winter gales.
 A    Bm      A     Bm    A   A  G# F#m
Sweat or cold, growing up, growing old, or dying
    A        D    E  A
