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


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

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


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


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


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


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