Fiddlers Green

Capo 2

Intro: C 

verse 1: 
                     F            C          Am 
As I walked down the dockside one evening so fair 
   C              F             C             G 
To view the still waters and to take the salt air 
  F                      C 
I heard an old fisherman singing a song 
          G                     C           G 
He said, "Take me away lads, me time is not long" 
  

[Refrão]
        C        G            C 
Wrap me up in me oilskins and jumper 
   F           C             G 
No more on the docks I'll be seen 
     F                          C 
Just tell me old shipmates, I'm taking a trip mates 
    G                                 C       G   C 
And I'll see you one day in Fiddler's Green 


verse 2: 
               F          C                Am 
Now, Fiddler's Green is a place I've heard tell 
      C         F          C           G 
Where fishermen go if they don't go to hell 
          F                       C 
Where the weather is fair and the dolphins do play 
        G                            C         G 
And the cold coasts of Greenland are far, far away 



[Refrão]
        C        G            C 
Wrap me up in me oilskins and jumper 
   F           C             G 
No more on the docks I'll be seen 
     F                          C 
Just tell me old shipmates, I'm taking a trip mates 
    G                                 C      
And I'll see you one day in Fiddler's Green 


verse 3: 
                   F                C       Am 
Oh, the weather is fair and there's never a gale 
        C          F              C              G 
And the fish jump aboard with one swish of their tail 
        F                            C 
You can lie in your hammock, there's no work to do 
        G                      C           G 
And the skipper's below making tea for the crew 
   

[Refrão]
        C        G            C 
Wrap me up in me oilskins and jumper 
   F           C             G 
No more on the docks I'll be seen 
     F                          C 
Just tell me old shipmates, I'm taking a trip mates 
    G                                 C       G   C 
And I'll see you one day in Fiddler's Green 


verse 4: 
                   F          C         Am  
Oh, I don't need a harp nor a halo, not me 
     C         F            C            G 
Just give me a breeze and a good rolling sea 
         F                           C 
And I'll play this old squeezebox as we sail along 
         G                      C         G 
With the wind in the rigging to sing me a song 


[Refrão]
        C        G            C 
Wrap me up in me oilskins and jumper 
   F           C             G 
No more on the docks I'll be seen 
     F                          C 
Just tell me old shipmates, I'm taking a trip mates 
    G                                 C       G   C 
And I'll see you one day in Fiddler's Green
