As I [C]walked by the [F]dockside one [C]evening so [Am]rare,
to [C]view the still [F]waters and [C]take the salt [G]air.
I [F]heard an old fisherman [Cadd9]singing this song:
O-h [C]take me a[G7]way boys, me [C]time is not [G]long.
{soc}
Dress me [C]up in me [G7]oilskins and [C]jumper,
no [F]more on the [C]docks I'll be [G]seen.
Just [F]tell me old ship-mates, I'm [C]taking a [Em]trip, mates,
and [G]I'll see you someday in [G7]Fiddler's [C]Green.
{eoc}
Now [C]Fiddler's [F]Green is a [C]place I've heard [Am]tell,
where [C]fishermen [F]go if they [C]don't go to [G]hell.
Where the [F]weather is fair and the [Cadd9]dolphins do play,
and the [C]cold coast of [G7]Greenland is [C]far, far [G]away.
{soc}
Dress me [C]up in me [G7]oilskins and [C]jumper,
no [F]more on the [C]docks I'll be [G]seen.
Just [F]tell me old ship-mates, I'm [C]taking a [Em]trip, mates,
and [G]I'll see you someday in [G7]Fiddler's [C]Green.
{eoc}
Now the [C]sky's always [F]clear and there's [C]never a [Am]gale,
and [C]fish jump on [F]board with a [C]flip of their [G]tail.
You can [F]lie at your leisure, there's [Cadd9]no work to do,
and the [C]skipper's be[G7]low, making [C]tea for the [G]crew.
{soc}
Dress me [C]up in me [G7]oilskins and [C]jumper,
no [F]more on the [C]docks I'll be [G]seen.
Just [F]tell me old ship-mates, I'm [C]taking a [Em]trip, mates,
and [G]I'll see you someday in [G7]Fiddler's [C]Green.
{eoc}
And [C]when you're in [F]dock and the [C]long trip is [Am]through,
there’s [C]pubs and there's [F]clubs and there's [C]lassies there, [G]too.
Now the [F]girls are all pretty and the [Cadd9]beer is all free,
and there’s [C]bottles of [G7]rum growing [C]on every [G]tree.
{soc}
Dress me [C]up in me [G7]oilskins and [C]jumper,
no [F]more on the [C]docks I'll be [G]seen.
Just [F]tell me old ship-mates, I'm [C]taking a [Em]trip, mates,
and [G]I'll see you someday in [G7]Fiddler's [C]Green.
{eoc}
But I [C]don't want a [F]harp nor a [C]halo, not [Am]me.
Just [C]give me a [F]breeze and a [C]good rolling [G]sea.
And I’ll [F]play me old squeezebox as [Cadd9]we sail along,
with the [C]wind in the [G7]rigging to [C]sing me a [G]song.
{soc}
Dress me [C]up in me [G7]oilskins and [C]jumper,
no [F]more on the [C]docks I'll be [G]seen.
Just [F]tell me old ship-mates, I'm [C]taking a [Em]trip, mates,
and [G]I'll see you someday in [G7]Fiddler's [C]Green.
{eoc}
Just [F]tell me old ship-mates, I'm [C]taking a [Em]trip, mates,
and [G]I'll see you someday in [G7]Fiddler's [C]Green.
