Fiddlers Green [C] - Dubliners
[C]
[Verse 1]
As I [C] walked by the [F] dockside one [C] evening so [Am] fair
to [C] view the salt [F] waters and [C] take the salt [G] air
I [F] heard an old fisherman [C] singing a song
'Oh take me [G] away boys, me [C] time is not [G] long
[Chorus]
|Wrap me [C] up in me [G] oilskins and [C] blankets
|No [F] more on the [C] docks I'll be [G] seen
|Just [F] tell me old shipmates, I'm [C]taking a trip mates
|and [G] I'll see you some day on [G7] Fiddlers [C] Green
[Verse 2]
Now [C] Fiddlers [F] Green is a [C] place I've heard [Am] tell
Where [C] fishermen [F] go if they [C] don't go to [G] hell
Where the [F] skies are all clear and the [C] dolphins do play
and the cold coast of [G] Greenland is [C] far, far [G] away
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Where the [C] skies are all [F] clear and there's [C] never a [Am] gale
and the [C] fish jump on [F] board with one [C] swish of their [G] tail
Where you [F] lie at your leisure, there's [C] no work to do
and the skipper's [G] below making [C] tea for the [G] crew
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
When you [C] get back on [F] docks and the [C] long trip is [Am] through
there's [C] pubs and there's [F] clubs and there's [C]lassies there [G]too
Where the [F] girls are all pretty and the [C] beer it is free
and there's bottles of [G] rum growing [C] from every [G] tree
[Chorus]
[Verse 5]
Now I [C] don't want a [F] harp nor a [C] halo, not [Am] me
Just [C] give me a [F] breeze and a [C] good rolling [G] sea
I'll [F] play me old uke as we're [C] sailing along
With the wind in the [G] rigging to [C] sing me a [G] song
