G                        D        G
Three fishers went sailing out into the west
      G        D         G        Em
Out into the west as the sun went down
       Am            Em           Bm          C
Each thought on the woman that loves him the best
          C               Em              B7
And the children stood watching them out of the town
(Chorus, start fingerpicking pattern)
     G        Em        C         D
For men must work and women must weep
     G         Em                C        D
For there's little to earn and many to keep
          G     D/G   Em D G
And the harbor bar be moaning

(The same thing repeats from now on)

 G Em Bm Em G
 G Em Bm Em G

         G                     D        G
Three wives sat up in the lighthouse tower
          G         D           G       Em
They trimmed the lamps as the sun went down
          Am              Em              Bm            C
And they looked at the squall and they looked at the shower
              C              Em         B7
And the night-wrack came rolling in ragged and brown

(Picking)
      G       Em         C         D
For men must work and women must weep
            G       Em              C        D
‘Though storms be sudden and the waters be deep
          G     D/G   Em D G
And the harbor bar be moaning

(Chords)
           G                     D      G
Three corpses lay out on the shining sand
            G      D          G         Em
In the morning gleam as the tide went down
            Am         Em           Bm           C
And the women were weeping and wringing their hands
        C             Em          B7
For those who would never come back to the town

      G        Em        C         D
For men must work and women must weep
           G         Em          C        D
And the sooner it's over, the sooner to sleep
         G      D/G               Em D G
And good-bye to that bar and its moaning
     G         Em       C         D
For men must work and women must weep
           G         Em          C         D
And the sooner it's over, the sooner to sleep
        G                 D/G   Em D G
And good-bye to that bar and its moaning

I made this because there were no other tabs for
Joan's version of this song. It's absolutely
beautiful, I hope I got everything right :)
