G C G Em
1. As I walked by the dock-side one eve-ning so rare
G C G D7
To view the still wat-ers and take the salt air
C G D
I spied an old fisher-man sing-ing this song
G C G D7
Oh take me a-way boys me time is not long
G D G
Chorus: Wrap me up in me oil-skin and blank-ets
C G D7
No more at the docks I'll be seen
C G
Just tell me old ship-mates I'm tak-in’ a trip mates
D D7 G
I'll see you some-day in Fidd-ler's Green
G C G Em
2. Now Fidd-ler's Green is a place I've heard tell
G C G D7
Where fish-er-men go if they don't go to hell
C G D
Weath-er is fair and the dol-phins do play
G C G D7
And the cold coast of Fin-land is far far a-way
Chorus:
3. Instrumental for 1 Verse
Chorus:
G C G Em
4. And when you’re in dock and the long trip is through
G C G D7
There's pubs and there's clubs and there's las-sies there too
C G D
The girls are all pret-ty and the beer is all free
G C G D7
And there's bot-tles of rum grow-in’ on ev-'ry tree
Chorus:
G C G Em
5. Now I don't want a harp nor a ha-lo not me
G C G D7
Just give me a breeze and a good rol-lin’ sea
C G D
I'll play me old squeeze-box as we sail a-long
G C G D7
With the wind in a rig-gin’ a sing-‘in this song
Chorus:
