Intro 1
(D major) (G major) (A major)
(D major) And
Verse 1
it's three score and ten,
boys and men,
were lost from (A major) Grims (G major) by town. (D major)
From Yarmouth (G major) down to Scarborough,
(D major) many hundreds more were drowned. (A major)
All (D major) having craft, all trawlers,
all fishing smacks as well
They long to (G major) fight the (A major) bitter night
and battle with the swell (D major)
Methinks I see a host of craft
Spread (G major) ing their (D major) sails alee
As down the (G major) humber they do glide
(D major) All bound for the northern sea (A major)
Methink (D major) s I see on each small craft
A (G major) crew with hearts (D major) so brave
Going out to (G major) earn their (A major) daily bread
Upon the restless wave (D major)
And its three score and
ten boys and men
Were lost from Grimsby town
From Yarmouth (G major) down to Scarborough
(D major) Many hundreds more were drowned (A major)
Our (D major) herring craft, our trawlers
Our fishing (G major) smack (D major) s as well
They long to fight (G major) the (A major) bitter night
And battle with the swell (D major)
Methinks I see them yet again
As they (G major) leave this land (D major) behind
Casting (G major) their nets into the sea (D major)
The herring shores to (A major) find
Methink (D major) s I see them yet again
And they all (G major) on (D major) board all right
With their nets close reefed (G major) ,
and their (A major) decks cleaned up,
and their side lights burning bright
(D major) And its three small and
ten boys and men
were lost from Grimsby town
From Yarra (G major) down to (D major) Scarborough,
many hundreds more were drowned (A major)
Our (D major) herring craft, our trawlers,
our fishing (G major) smack (D major) s as well
They longed to (G major) fight that (A major) bitter night
and battle with the swell (D major)
October's night brought such a sight
which was never (G major) seen (D major) before
There was mass and (G major) yards and brook
and sparse (D major) fun watched upon the shore
(A major) There was many (D major) a heart of sorrow
There was (G major) many a (D major) heart so brave
There was many a fine (G major) and (A major) hearty luck
To find a watery grave (D major)
And its three score and
ten boys and men
Were lost from Grims (G major) by town (D major)
From Yonatown (G major) to (D major) Scarborough
Many hundreds more were (A major) drowned
Our (E minor) (A major) (D major) herring, our rock,
(A major) our trawlers, (D major)
Our fishing (G major) (D major) smack (A major) s as (D major) well.
They longed in (G major) fight that (A major) bitter night,
And battled with the swell. (D major)
