Fiddlers Green

Dubliners
 CFCAm
   As I walked by the dockside one evening so fair,
 CFCG
    to view the salt waters and take the salt air,
 FC
    I heard an old fisherman singing a song,
 GCG
    'Oh take me away boys, me time is not long'.

CHORUS
 CGC
Wrap me up in me oilskins and jumpers,
 FCG
no more on the docks I'll be seen.
 FC
Just tell me old shipmates, I'm taking a trip, mates,
 GG7C
and I'll see you some day on Fiddler's Green.

 CFCAm
   Now Fiddler's Green is a place I've heard tell,
 CFCG
   where the fishermen go if they don't go to hell.
 FC
    Where the skies are all clear and the dolphins do play,
 GCG
    and the cold coast of Greenland is far, far away.
CHORUS
 CFCAm
   Where the skies are all clear and there's never a gale,
 CFCG
    and the fish jump on board with one swish of their tail.
 FC
    Where you lie at your leisure, there's no work to do,
 GCG
    and the skipper's below making tea for the crew.
CHORUS
 CFCAm
   When you get back on docks and the long trip is through,
 CFCG
    there's pubs and there's clubs and there's lassies there, too.
 FC
    Where the girls are all pretty and the beer it is free,
 GCG
    and there's bottles of rum growing from every tree.
CHORUS
 CFCAm
    Now I don't want a harp nor a halo, not me,
 CFCG
    just give me a breeze on a good rolling sea.
 FC
    I'll play me old squeezebox as we sail along,
 GCG
    with the wind in the rigging to sing me a song.
