Fiddlers Green

     G             C          
As I walked by the dockside one 
  G          Em
evening so rare
   G              C          G   
To view the still waters and take
          D
 the salt air
  C                      G
I heard an old fisherman singing 
this song
   G        C            G       
Oh take me away boys, my time is 
    D
not long

[Chorus 1]
G                 D         
Dress me up in my oilskins and 
   G
jumper
   C           G             D
No more on the docks I'll be seen
     C
Just tell my old ship-mates
    G
I'm taking a trip, mates
    D                      
And I'll see you someday in 
           G   G C G
Fiddler's Green

[Verse 2]
   G         C          G        
Oh Fiddler's Green is a place 
        Em
I've heard tell
          G         C          G 
Where the fishermen go if they 
          D
don't go to Hell
          C                       
Where the weather is fair and the 
G
dolphins do play
        G             C            
And the cold coast of Greenland is 
G         D
far, far away

[Chorus 2]
G                 D         
Dress me up in my oilskins and 
   G
jumper
   C           G             D
No more on the docks I'll be seen

Fiddler's Green

[Verse 3]
          G            C       
Where the sky's always clear and 
          G       Em
there's never a gale
          G            C          
Where the fish jump on board with 
  G              D
a swish of their tail
          C                   
Where you lie at your leisure, 
         G
there's no work to do
        G           C          G 
And the skipper's below making 
          D
tea for the crew

[Chorus 3]
G                 D         
Dress me up in my oilskins and

[Verse 4]
         G           C            
When you get back in dock and the 
G            Em
long trip is through
        G                C        
There's pubs and there's clubs and
         G            D
 there's lasses there too
          C                        
Where the girls are all pretty and 
    G
the beer is all free
            G          C           
And there's bottles of rum growing 
G          D
from every tree

[Chorus 4]
G                 D         
Dress me up in my oilskins and

No more on the docks I'll be seen

[Verse 5]
     G            C          G   
Oh I don't want a harp nor a 
      Em
halo, not me
     G         C            G    
Just give me a breeze and a good 
        D
rolling sea
    C                              
And I'll play my old squeezebox as 
G
we sail along
         G           C          G
With the wind in the rigging to 
           D
sing me the song

[Chorus 5]
G                 D         
Dress me up in my oilskins and
