Verse 1
(C major) With our nets and gear we're (G major) faring (C major)
On the wild and (F major) waste (C major) ful ocean
It's out there (G major) on the deep (F major) we (C major)
harvest and (F major) reap (C major) our bread
As we hunt the bonny (F major) shoals of (C major) (G major) herring (C major)
Oh it was a fine and a pleasent day
Out of Yarmouth harbour I was (G major) faring
As a cab (C major) in boy on a sailing lugger
We were following the shoals (G major) of herring
(C major) 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 on watch
with the other fellas
As you're hunting for
the shoals (G major) of herring (C major)
Now we fished the swarth
and the broken bank
I was cook and I'd a quarter sharing (G major)
And I used (C major) to sleep standing on me feet
As we hunted for the shoals (G major) of herring (C major)
We left the homegrounds in
the month of June
And for canny shiels we soon were baring (G major)
With a (C major) hundred cran of the silver darlins
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 faring (G major)
From the Dover (C major) Strait to the Faroe Islands
And you're hunting for
the shoals (G major) of herring (C major)
Well I earned me keep and I paid me way
And I earned the gear that I was wearing (G major)
Sailed a million (C major) miles
Caught ten million fishes
We were hunting after shoals
(G major) of herring (C major)
You're net ropeman now
Or you're on the move
And you're learning all
about sea- faring (G major)
(C major) That's your education
Scraps of navigation
As you hunt the bonny shoals (G major) of herring (C major)
Night and day the seas we're (G major) daring
(C major) Come wind or calm or (C major) winter gale
Sweating or cold
Grow (C major) ing up, growing old (F major) (C major) or dying
As you hunt the bonny shoals of (G major) herring
(C major)
