[Intro]
A \ D E A \
[Verse]
A D E A
Oh it was a fine and a pleasant day
A/G# A/F# E E/F# E/G#
Out of Yarmouth harbor I was faring
A E D F#m
As a cabin boy on a sailing lugger
A D E A
For to hunt the bonny shoals of herring
[Instrumental]
A / A /
[Verse]
A D E A
Now you're up on deck, you're a fisherman
A/G# A/F# E E/F# E/G#
You can swear and show a manly bearing
A E D F#m
Take your turn and watch with the other fellas
A D E A
As you hunt the bonnie shoals of herring
[Instrumental]
A / A /
[Verse]
A D E A
Well I earned my keep and I paid my way
A/G# A/F# E E/F# E/G#
And I earned the gear that I was wearing
A E D F#m
I sailed a million mile, caught ten million fishes
A D E A
We were dreaming of the shoals of herring
[Instrumental]
A / A /
[Verse]
A D A
Night and day the seas were daring
A D E
Come wind oh come more winter gale
A D A D E F#m
Sweating or cold, growing up, growing old, Or dying
A D E A
As we dream about the shoals of herring
