Verse 1
(G major) (Csus2) (G major) (C major) Oh,
(Csus2) it (G major) was a fine an (C major) d a pleasant day (G major)
(Csus2) Out (G major) of Yarmouth
Harbour I (E minor) was (A major) farin' (G major)
(D major) As (G major) a cabin (C major) boy on a sailing (E minor) logger
I was (G major) following the (C major) shoals
(B minor) of (G major) herring (Csus2)
The (G major) work was hard and
the hours were long
An (Csus2) d the treatment
(G major) sure it took (E minor) some bearing
(G major) (D major) There (G major) was little (C major) kindness
and the kicks (E minor) were many
As we (G major) hunted after (C major) shoals
of (G major) herring (Csus2)
Well we (G major) fished the swarf
(C major) and the (G major) broken bank
(Csus2) I was (G major) cook and had
a (E minor) quarter shar (A minor) ing
(G major) And (D major) I (G major) used to (C major) sleep standing
on me (E minor) feet
And (G major) dream about shoals (C major) (B minor) of
(G major) herm (Csus2)
Now you're (G major) up on deck,
(C major) you're a fisherman
You (G major) (Csus2) can swear (G major) and
show a manly (E minor) bear (G major) ing
(D major) Take a turn (C major) on the watch like
the other (E minor) fellas
While you (G major) hunt the bonnie shawls (C major)
of (G major) her (Csus2)
We left (G major) our home grounds
in the month of June
An (C major) d for (G major) canny shield (D major) s we
(E minor) soon (A major) was bearing
(D major) With a (G major) hundred (C major) karan of them
(D major) silver darling (E minor) s
That were (G major) taken from the (C major) shoals
(B minor) of (G major) her (Csus2) (C major) (G major) (Csus2)
Well (G major) I earned me keep,
(C major) and I paid (G major) me well (C major)
(Csus2) And I owned (G major) the gear
that I (E minor) was wear (A major) ing
(D major) Sailed (G major) a million (C major) miles,
caught ten (D major) million fisher (E minor) s
I was (G major) following the (C major) shoals of
(D major) her (G major) ring (C major) (Csus2)
(C major) And (G major) with our nets and gear (D major) we're bearing
On (G major) the wild and wasteful ocean (D major)
For it's (G major) there on (C major) the deep
we'll (G major) harvest (D major) an d reap (E minor) our bread
And we'll (G major) hunt the
bonny shoals (C major) of Her (G major) on
Through (Csus2) the (G major) stormy
seas (C major) and the living (G major) gales
Just (C major) (G major) to earn our daily bread (E minor) we're (A major) darin'
(G major) (D major) From the (G major) Dorvish (C major) Straits
to the Faroe Is (E minor) lands
We've (G major) been following
the (C major) shores of (G major) Moran
An (C major) d it (G major) was a fine and a pleasant day
Out of Yarmouth (D major) Harbour I
(E minor) was farin' (A minor) (G major)
(D major) There's a (G major) cabin boy (C major) on a sailing (E minor) logger
I was (G major) following the (C major) shoals of her (G major) en d
I (C major) was (G major) following the (D major) shoals of her en (E minor) d
