Shoals Of Herring chords by Oscar Isaac

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 chord and the bass descends down the
scale to E, where he then plays an E major and the bass walks back to A.


A     \     D   E   A

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

A  E  A  E

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