Tuning:G C E A
Key:C
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
C F C Am
As I walked by the dockside one evening so rare,
C F C G
to view the still waters and take the salt air.
F Cadd9
I heard an old fisherman singing this song:
C G7 C G
O-h take me away boys, me time is not long.
[Chorus]
C G7 C
Dress me up in me oilskins and jumper,
F C G
no more on the docks I'll be seen.
F C Em
Just tell me old ship-mates, I'm taking a trip, mates,
G G7 C
and I'll see you someday in Fiddler's Green.
[Verse 2]
C F C Am
Now Fiddler's Green is a place I've heard tell,
C F C G
where fishermen go if they don't go to hell.
F Cadd9
Where the weather is fair and the dolphins do play,
C G7 C G
and the cold coast of Greenland is far, far away.
[Chorus]
C G7 C
Dress me up in me oilskins and jumper,
F C G
no more on the docks I'll be seen.
F C Em
Just tell me old ship-mates, I'm taking a trip, mates,
G G7 C
and I'll see you someday in Fiddler's Green.
[Verse 3]
C F C Am
Now the sky's always clear and there's never a gale,
C F C G
and fish jump on board with a flip of their tail.
F Cadd9
You can lie at your leisure, there's no work to do,
C G7 C G
and the skipper's below, making tea for the crew.
[Chorus]
C G7 C
Dress me up in me oilskins and jumper,
F C G
no more on the docks I'll be seen.
F C Em
Just tell me old ship-mates, I'm taking a trip, mates,
G G7 C
and I'll see you someday in Fiddler's Green.
[Verse 4]
C F C Am
And when you're in dock and the long trip is through,
C F C G
there’s pubs and there's clubs and there's lassies there, too.
F Cadd9
Now the girls are all pretty and the beer is all free,
C G7 C G
and there’s bottles of rum growing on every tree.
[Chorus]
C G7 C
Dress me up in me oilskins and jumper,
F C G
no more on the docks I'll be seen.
F C Em
Just tell me old ship-mates, I'm taking a trip, mates,
G G7 C
and I'll see you someday in Fiddler's Green.
[Verse 5]
C F C Am
But I don't want a harp nor a halo, not me.
C F C G
Just give me a breeze and a good rolling sea.
F Cadd9
And I’ll play me old squeezebox as we sail along,
C G7 C G
with the wind in the rigging to sing me a song.
[Chorus]
C G7 C
Dress me up in me oilskins and jumper,
F C G
no more on the docks I'll be seen.
F C Em
Just tell me old ship-mates, I'm taking a trip, mates,
G G7 C
and I'll see you someday in Fiddler's Green.
[Outro]
F C Em
Just tell me old ship-mates, I'm taking a trip, mates,
G G7 C
and I'll see you someday in Fiddler's Green.
