C             F            C          Am
As I walked by the dockside one evening so rare,
   C              F          C             G
to view the still waters and take the salt air.
  F                      Cadd9
I heard an old fisherman singing this song:
    C        G7           C           G
O-h take me away boys, me time is not long.

[Chorus]
         C        G7           C
Dress me up in me oilskins and jumper,
   F           C             G
no more on the docks I'll be seen.
     F                           C        Em
Just tell me old ship-mates, I'm taking a trip, mates,
    G                       G7        C
and I'll see you someday in Fiddler's Green.

[Verse 2]
    C         F          C                Am
Now Fiddler's Green is a place I've heard tell,
      C         F          C           G
where fishermen go if they don't go to hell.
          F                       Cadd9
Where the weather is fair and the dolphins do play,
        C             G7           C        G
and the cold coast of Greenland is far, far away.

[Chorus]
         C        G7           C
Dress me up in me oilskins and jumper,
   F           C             G
no more on the docks I'll be seen.
     F                           C        Em
Just tell me old ship-mates, I'm taking a trip, mates,
    G                       G7        C
and I'll see you someday in Fiddler's Green.

[Verse 3]
        C            F                 C       Am
Now the sky's always clear and there's never a gale,
    C            F            C             G
and fish jump on board with a flip of their tail.
        F                            Cadd9
You can lie at your leisure, there's no work to do,
        C           G7          C           G
and the skipper's below, making tea for the crew.

[Chorus]
         C        G7           C
Dress me up in me oilskins and jumper,
   F           C             G
no more on the docks I'll be seen.
     F                           C        Em
Just tell me old ship-mates, I'm taking a trip, mates,
    G                       G7        C
and I'll see you someday in Fiddler's Green.

[Verse 4]
    C              F            C            Am
And when you're in dock and the long trip is through,
        C                F                 C              G
there’s pubs and there's clubs and there's lassies there, too.
        F                            Cadd9
Now the girls are all pretty and the beer is all free,
            C          G7          C        G
and there’s bottles of rum growing on every tree.

[Chorus]
         C        G7           C
Dress me up in me oilskins and jumper,
   F           C             G
no more on the docks I'll be seen.
     F                           C        Em
Just tell me old ship-mates, I'm taking a trip, mates,
    G                       G7        C
and I'll see you someday in Fiddler's Green.

[Verse 5]
      C            F          C         Am
But I don't want a harp nor a halo, not me.
     C         F            C            G
Just give me a breeze and a good rolling sea.
         F                         Cadd9
And I’ll play me old squeezebox as we sail along,
         C           G7         C         G
with the wind in the rigging to sing me a song.

[Chorus]
         C        G7           C
Dress me up in me oilskins and jumper,
   F           C             G
no more on the docks I'll be seen.
     F                           C        Em
Just tell me old ship-mates, I'm taking a trip, mates,
    G                       G7        C
and I'll see you someday in Fiddler's Green.

[Outro]
     F                           C        Em
Just tell me old ship-mates, I'm taking a trip, mates,
    G                       G7        C
and I'll see you someday in Fiddler's Green.
