Intro 1
(C major) (G major) (C major)
Verse 1
We're (C major) two weather -beaten,
old
(F major) Newfoundland fish (C major) ermen
Sometimes we smiles and
some (D major) times we frowns (G major)
But you (C major) will agree, from what (F major) you can see (C major)
A fisherman's life has its
up (G major) s and its downs (C major)
But now (F major) we are facing a
won (C major) derful future
Gone (F major) are the winters
we've (C major) always endured
(G major) For our (C major) unemployment
is now (F major) for enjoyment
(C major) Come
April the 1st we will all (G major) be insured (C major)
The
Fisheries
Council of
(F major) Canada said
(C major) They'd make all our
hardships a thing (D major) of the
pas (G major) t
The (D major) (G major)
(D major) In (C major) surance
Commission has im (F major) proved our
condi (C major) tion
It's taken them years but they've (G major) done it
at last (C major)
We fishermen (F major) now have
a newly (C major) found hobby
Makes (F major) us feel just like
two (C major) juvenile scam (G major) s
For (D major) (G major) (C major) though we're not schoolboys,
we (F major) bow to the rule (C major) boys
So we've begun our col (G major) lection
of stamps (C major) (G major) (C major) (F major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
We're paid by the rating
of our (F major) weekly catch
(C major) And with twenty weeks' work,
we'll be (D major) in the clear
(G major) Our be (D major) ne fit (G major) starts (C major) and
we'll (F major) be men of parts
(C major) Sit back and do nothing
for the (G major) rest of the year (C major)
For semi (F major) -dry caught fish we
don't (C major) get good rating
But (F major) extra hard dry ones
bring more (C major) increment
(G major) So though (C major) we're defaulting,
we're giving (F major) up salt (C major) ing
Curing our fish now with
North
(G major) Star cement
(C major) (F major) (C major) (G major) (C major) Now
we'll be
able to fish (F major) at our leis (C major) ure
One good haul a week and that (D major) will be that
(G major) So when (C major) fish start playing to
them (F major) we'll be say (C major) ing
Stay where you're till I comes (G major)
where you're at (C major)
Now if (F major) in the future you
should (C major) go a -squittin'
You'll (F major) find a queer spectacle
there (C major) I'll be
bound (G major)
They'll sit (C major) by their jiggers,
all (F major) adding up figures (C major)
Licking their stamps on the
(G major) squid -jigging ground (C major)
Licking their stamps on the
(G major) squid -jigging ground
(C major)
