Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
     C majorC
There's a piercing wintry breeze
     FF         C majorC
Blowing through the budding trees
                 G+G
And I button up my coat to keep me warm
    C majorC
But the days are on the mend
    FF      C majorC
And I'm on the road again
            G+G         C majorC
With my fiddle snuggled close beneath my arm

Chorus:
    C majorC
I've a fine, felt hat
    FF       G+G
And a strong pair of brogues
    C majorC     G+G
I have rosin in my pocket for my bow
   C majorC
O my fiddle strings are new
     FF        G+G
And I've learned a tune or two
    C majorC        G+G       C majorC
So, I'm well prepared to ramble and must go

I'm as happy as a king
    FF        C majorC
When I catch a breath of spring
                    G+G
And the grass is turning green as winter ends
    C majorC
And the geese are on the wing
    FF        C majorC
And the thrushes start to sing
            G+G       C majorC
And I'm headed down the road to see my
 friends


Verse 2:
I have friends in every town
   FF       C majorC
As I wander up and down
                  G+G
Making music at the markets and the fairs
      C majorC
Through the donkeys and the creels
    FF        C majorC
And the farmers making deals
           G+G        C majorC
And the yellow headed tinkers selling wares


Verse 3:
     C majorC
Here's a health to one and all
    FF        C majorC
To the big and to the small
                   G+G
To the rich and poor alike and foe and friends
      C majorC
And when I return again
     FF         C majorC
May our foes have turned to friends
            G+G        C majorC
And may peace and joy be with you until then
