Shoals Of Herring chords by Oscar Isaac

Chords with lyrics

If the A/G# A/F#... chords in the second line are confusing, here's help: The "/"
simply means the bass note. He plays an A augmentedA chord and the bass descends down the
scale to E, where he then plays an E MajorE major and the bass walks back to A.


A augmentedA   \   D MajorD  E MajorE  A augmentedA

   A augmentedA     D MajorD   E MajorE    A augmentedA
Oh it was a fine and a pleasant day
        A/G#  f#m  E MajorE  E/F#E/F# E/G#
Out of Yarmouth harbor I was faring
   A augmentedA   E MajorE  D MajorD      F# minorF#m
As a cabin boy on a sailing lugger
A augmentedA           D MajorD   E MajorE   A augmentedA
For to hunt the bonny shoals of herring

A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE

Now you're up on deck, you're a fisherman
You can swear show a manly barren
Take your turn and watch with the other fellas
As you hunt the bonnie shoals of herring

Well I earned my keep and I paid my way
And I earned the gear that I was wearing
I sailed a million mile, caught ten million fishes
We were dreaming of the shoals of herring

A augmentedA              D MajorD A augmentedA
Night and day the seas were daring
   A augmentedA    D MajorD        E MajorE
Come wind oh come more winter again
A augmentedA      D MajorD   A augmentedA          D MajorD    F# minorF#m
Sweating or cold, growing up, growing old, Or dying
A augmentedA           D MajorD     E MajorE  A augmentedA
As we dream about the shoals of herring
