Verse 1
Bb
F
Bb
With our nets and gear we're farin'
Eb
Bb
F
On the wide and wasteful ocean
Bb
Eb
It was there in the deep
Bb
Eb
Bb
Where we harvest and reap our bread
Eb
F
As we hunted for the shoals of herring
Bb
Eb
Bb
It was on a fair and a pleasant day
Bb
F
Eb
Bb
As a cabin boy on a sailing letter
Eb
F
For to go and hunt the shoals of herring
Eb
Bb
and the hours were long
And the trade went sure,
Bb
F
There was little kindness,
Eb
Bb
and the cakes were many
Eb
F
As we hunted for the shoals of herring
Bb
Eb
Bb
Oh, we fished the sword and the broken bank
Bb
F
And I used to sleep standing
Eb
Bb
on my feet
And I'd dream about the
Eb
F
Bb
Shoals of Death
Oh, we left the home grounds
Eb
Bb
in the month of Jun e
And two canny shields we
Bb
F
With a hundred clan of the
Eb
Bb
silver darlings
That we've taken from the
Eb
F
shoals of herring
Bb
F
You can swear and show a manly bearing
Bb
F
Take your turn and watch with
Eb
Bb
the other fellows
While you're searching
Eb
F
for the shoals of herring
Bb
Eb
In the stormy seas and the living gales
Bb
F
From the Dover straits to the
Eb
Bb
Faroe Is lands
As you're following the
Eb
F
shoulder of Herring
Eb
Bb
and they paid me way
F
Eb
Bb
caught ten million fishes
Eb
F
We were sailing after shoals of herring
Bb
F
Oh, night and day we're faring
Bb
Eb
Bb
F
Come winter wind, oh, winter gale
Bb
Eb
Sweating of cold, growing up,
Bb
Eb
Bb
growing older, dying
Eb
Bb
F
As we haunt the body shows of herring
Bb
