Verse 1
(C major) With our nets and gear we're (G major) ferrying (C major)
On the wild and waste (F major) ful (C major) ocean
It's out there (G major) on the deep (F major)
We (C major) harvest and reap (F major) our (C major) bread
As we hunt the bonny (F major) shoals of (C major) herring (G major) (C major)
Oh, it was a fine and a pleasant day
Out of Yarmouth Harbour I was (G major) sparing
As a (C major) cabin boy on a sailing lugger
We were following the shoals (G major) of her (C major) ring
Now you're up on deck,
you're a fisherman
You can swear and show a manly (G major) bearing
Take your (C major) turn and watch
with the other fellas
As you're hunting for the
(G major) shoals of herring (C major)
Though we fished a swat at the broken bank,
I was cook and I'd a quarter share (G major) in
And I (C major) used to sleep standing on me feet
As we hunted for the (G major) shoals of her (C major) ring
We left the home grounds
in the months of June
And for canny shields we
soon were bearing (G major)
With a (C major) hundred crowns of
the silver darlings
That we'd taken from the
shoals (G major) of herring (C major)
In the stormy seas and the living gales
Just to earn your daily
bread you're (G major) faring
From the (C major) Dover Straits till
the Faroe Islands
And you're hunting for the
(G major) shoals of her (C major) ring
Well, I earned me keep and
they paid me way
And I earned the gear that I was wearing (G major)
Saved a (C major) million miles,
caught ten million fishes
We were hunting after
shoals (G major) of her (C major) ring
You're net rope man now,
boy you're on the move
And you're learning all
about sea (G major) faring
That's (C major) your education,
scraps of navigation
As you hunt the bony shoals
(G major) of herring (C major)
Night and day the seas were (G major) daring
(C major) Come wind or come our (C major) winter gale
Sweating or cold, grow (C major) ing up,
growing old (F major) or (C major) dying
As you hunt the bunny shoals of (G major) Heron (C major) Bay.
