      G+G              D MajorD
There's a sad tale I'll tell you of a sailor man's life
     G+G               D MajorD     E minorEm
How his love for the high seas would cost him a wife
      G+G           D MajorD
When I've told you my story I'm sure you'll agree
   G+G             D MajorD      E minorEm
It's not but pure folly when a man goes to sea

    G+G             D MajorD
Just a young lad of twenty I was courting a lass
     G+G           D MajorD       E minorEm
Full of innocent beauty with style and with class
     G+G            D MajorD
But the ships in the harbor they beckoned it seemed
    G+G              D MajorD       E minorEm
I was lured by the trade winds to find fiddler's green


   G+G              D MajorD
When first I went sailing how a young girl did cry
     G+G               D MajorD     E minorEm
But the lure of the trade winds could not be denied
        G+G              D MajorD
And though she vowed to be faithful as my ship sailed away
      G+G         D MajorD       E minorEm
She would marry another one year from that day


 G+G   C majorC  G+G    D MajorD
Yo ho ho, fiddler's green
  G+G              C majorC      D MajorD
Bewitching young sailors with all of your dreams
 G+G   C majorC     G+G     D MajorD
Yo ho ho, she's calm and serene
  E minorEm           D MajorD     E minorEm
Enchantment awaits you on fiddler's green


      G+G             D MajorD
Well I've sailed many oceans since I left Boston town
    G+G               D MajorD       E minorEm
And my hair has turned silver that was once chestnut brown
     G+G           D MajorD
And from London to Bombay and ports in between
   G+G             D MajorD     E minorEm
I was always in search of this fiddler's green


      G+G               D MajorD
And to you young lads now courting pretty maidens so fair
      G+G               D MajorD     E minorEm
Should you hear those trade winds let me warn you beware
  G+G               D MajorD
Go marry your young girl, as your corn and your beans
    G+G              D MajorD     E minorEm
Don't waste your young manhood on fiddler's green


 G+G   C majorC  G+G    D MajorD
Yo ho ho, fiddler's green
  G+G              C majorC      D MajorD
Bewitching young sailors with all of your dreams
 G+G   C majorC     G+G     D MajorD
Yo ho ho, she's calm and serene
  E minorEm           D MajorD     E minorEm
Enchantment awaits you on fiddler's green
