Fiddlers Green chords by The Dubliners

Chords with lyrics

Capo 5th fret.

     C majorC       FF      C majorC     A minorAm
  As I walked by the dockside one evening so fair,
     C majorC      FF     C majorC       G+G
  to view the salt waters and take the salt air,
     FF           C majorC
  I heard an old fisherman singing a song,
         G+G      C majorC      G+G
  'Oh take me away boys, me time is not long'.

CHORUS
    C majorC     G+G      C majorC
Wrap me up in me oilskins and jumpers,
  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            G7G7     C majorC
and I'll see you some day on Fiddler's Green.

    C majorC     FF     C majorC        A minorAm
  Now Fiddler's Green is a place I've heard tell,
        C majorC     FF     C majorC      G+G
  where the fishermen go if they don't go to hell.
        FF              C majorC
  Where the skies are all clear and the dolphins do play,
               G+G       C majorC  G+G
  and the cold coast of Greenland is far, far away.

CHORUS
        C majorC      FF         C majorC   A minorAm
  Where the skies are all clear and there's never a gale,
       C majorC      FF       C majorC       G+G
  and the fish jump on board with one swish of their tail.
        FF              C majorC
  Where you lie at your leisure, 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      FF       C majorC       A minorAm
  When you get back on docks and the long trip is through,
      C majorC          FF         C majorC       G+G
  there's pubs and there's clubs and there's lassies there, too.
        FF               C majorC
  Where the girls are all pretty and the beer it is free,
              G+G      C majorC     G+G
  and there's bottles of rum growing from every tree.

CHORUS
      C majorC      FF     C majorC     A minorAm
  Now I don't want a harp nor a halo, not me,
     C majorC      FF     C majorC      G+G
  just give me a breeze on a good rolling sea.
     FF             C majorC
  I'll play me old squeezebox as we sail along,
            G+G      C majorC     G+G
  with the wind in the rigging to sing me a song.

CHORUS
