Verse 1
With (G major) our nets and gear we're (D major) ferry (G major) ing
On the wild and (C major) wasteful ocean (G major)
It's out there (C major) on the deep
that we harvest our (G major) bread
(E minor) As (G major) we hunt the bonny (C major) shoals of her (G major) ring
It was on a fair and a pleasant day,
Out of Yarmouth harbour I was (D major) farin'
(G major) As a cabin (C major) boy on a sailin' (G major) logger,
For to hunt the bonnie (C major) shoals of (D major) her (G major) rin'.
Oh, we left the home grounds
in the month of June,
And for canny shields we
(C major) soon were (D major) bearing,
(G major) With the hundred (C major) crown of the
silver (G major) darlings
That we'd taken from the (C major) shoals of (D major) Perrin.
(G major) Now the work was hard
and the hours were long
And the treatment sure it
took some (D major) bearing
An (C major) d I (G major) used to (C major) sleep
standing on me (G major) feet
And I'd dream about the (C major) shoals of (D major) herring
(G major) Now you're up on deck,
you're a fisherman
And you're learning all
about sea (D major) faring
That's (G major) your educa (C major) tion,
scraps of naviga (G major) tion
As you untap on each (C major) hold of (D major) her (G major) ring
In the stormy seas and the living gales
I earned the gear that (C major) I was (D major) wearing
Sailed (G major) ten thousand (C major) miles,
caught ten (G major) million fishes
As we hunted for the (C major) shoals of her (G major) ring
Night and (B minor) day (G major) we're (D major) fair (G major) ing
Come winter (C major) wave our winter (D major) gale
(G major) Sweating our coat, (A minor) (C major) grow (G major) ing up,
grow (C major) ing old (G major)
As (E minor) (G major) we hunt the bunny
(C major) shows of (G major) (A minor) hell (G major) you
