           G                       
There's a sad tale I'll tell you of
    D
 a sailor man's life
         G                         
How his love for the high seas 
    D         Em
would cost him a wife
           G                     D
When I've told you my story I'm sure
 you'll agree
      G                         D 
It's not but pure folly when a man
          Em
 goes to sea


        G                       
Just a young lad of twenty I was 
   D
courting a lass
         G                     D  
Full of innocent beauty with style
           Em
 and with class
         G                      
But the ships in the harbor they 
  D
beckoned it seemed
       G                         
I was lured by the trade winds to 
  D              Em
find fiddler's green

      G                        
When first I went sailing how a 
   D
young girl did cry
         G                     
But the lure of the trade winds 
        D         Em
could not be denied
                G                  
And though she vowed to be faithful
         D
 as my ship sailed away
           G                 D 
She would marry another one year 
            Em
from that day


 G     C    G        D
Yo ho ho, fiddler's green
   G                           C  
Bewitching young sailors with all 
         D
of your dreams
 G     C         G          D
Yo ho ho, she's calm and serene
    Em                     D      
Enchantment awaits you on 
   Em
fiddler's green


           G                       
Well I've sailed many oceans since 
   D
I left Boston town
        G                          
And my hair has turned silver that 
    D              Em
was once chestnut brown
          G                     D
And from London to Bombay and ports 
in between
      G                       
I was always in search of this 
  D          Em
fiddler's green


            G                      
And to you young lads now courting 
        D
pretty maidens so fair
            G                    
Should you hear those trade winds 
         D         Em
let me warn you beware
    G                            
Go marry your young girl, as your 
  D
corn and your beans
       G                         
Don't waste your young manhood on 
  D          Em
fiddler's green


 G     C    G        D
Yo ho ho, fiddler's green
   G                           C  
Bewitching young sailors with all 
         D
of your dreams
 G     C         G          D
Yo ho ho, she's calm and serene
    Em                     D      
Enchantment awaits you on 
   Em
