Wynken Blynken And Nod chords by Donovan

Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night, sailed off in a wooden shoe,
   C           Am      Dm      G
They sailed down a river of crystal light into a sea of dew.
   Dm           G           Am         G
"Now where are you going and what do you wish?" the old moon asked the three.
    C             Am        Dm          G
"We're going out fishing for the herring fish that live in the beautiful sea,
     F     G          Dm          G
And such silver and gold have we," said Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.

    Dm          G          Am           G
So the old moon laughed and sang a song as they rocked in their wooden shoe,
    C           Am       Dm          G
And the breeze that sped them all night long ruffled the waves of dew.
    Dm            G         Am          G
Now the stars in the sky were the herring fish that live in the beautiful sea
   C         Am       Dm         G
Come cast your nets wherever you wish, never a-feared are we.
  F           G        Dm          G
So sang the stars to the fishermen three, Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.

  Dm          G           Am           G
So all night long their nets they threw to the stars in the twinklin' foam
   C             Am      Dm           G
Then down from the sky came the wooden shoe a-bringin' the fishermen home.
   Dm         G         Am       G
'Twas all so beautiful a sight it seemed as if it could not be.
  C              Am            Dm          G
And some folks thought it was a dream they dreamed while sailin' the beautiful sea
  F          G        Dm          G
But I shall name you the fishermen three, Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.

  Dm           G          Am       G
Now Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes and Nod is a little head.
    C           Am         Dm        G
And the breeze that sped them all night long is a wee one's trundle bed.
  Dm         G          Am          G
So close your eyes as mother sings of the beautiful sights that be,
  C         Am           Dm         G
And you shall see such wondrous things as you rock in your misty sea.
  F           G        Dm          G
So sang the stars to the fishermen three, Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.
