{t:Fiddler's Green}
{st:Traditional}

As I [G]walked by the [C]dockside one [G]evening so [Em]fair
To [G]view the still [C]waters and [G]take the salt [D]air
I [C]heard an old fisherman [G]singing this [D]song
"Oh [G]take me a[C]way boys, me [G]time is not [D]long"


[chorus]
Wrap me [G]up in me [D]oilskins and [G]blanket
No [C]more on the [G]docks I'll be [D]seen
Just [C]tell me old shipmates, I'm [G]taking a trip, mates
and [D]I'll see you some day on [D7]Fiddler's [G]Green
[]


Now [G]Fiddler's [C]Green is a [G]place I've heard [Em]tell
Where the [G]fishermen [C]go if they [G]don't go to [D]hell
Where the [C]skies are all clear and the [G]dolphins do [D]play
And the [G]cold coast of [C]Greenland is [G]far, far a[D]way


[chorus]
Wrap me [G]up in me [D]oilskins and [G]blanket
No [C]more on the [G]docks I'll be [D]seen
Just [C]tell me old shipmates, I'm [G]taking a trip, mates
and [D]I'll see you some day on [D7]Fiddler's [G]Green
[]


Where the [G]skies are all [C]clear and there's [G]never a [Em]gale
And the fish [G]jump on [C]board with one [G]swish of their [D]tail
Where you [C]lie at your leisure, there's [G]no work to [D]do
and the [G]skipper's be[C]low making [G]tea for the [D]crew


[chorus]
Wrap me [G]up in me [D]oilskins and [G]blanket
No [C]more on the [G]docks I'll be [D]seen
Just [C]tell me old shipmates, I'm [G]taking a trip, mates
and [D]I'll see you some day on [D7]Fiddler's [G]Green
[]


When you [G]get back on [C]dock and the [G]long trip is [Em]through
There's [G]pubs and there's [C]clubs and there's [G]lassies there [D]too
Where the [C]girls are all pretty and the [G]beer it is [D]free
And there's [G]bottles of [C]rum growing [G]from every [D]tree


[chorus]
Wrap me [G]up in me [D]oilskins and [G]blanket
No [C]more on the [G]docks I'll be [D]seen
Just [C]tell me old shipmates, I'm [G]taking a trip, mates
and [D]I'll see you some day on [D7]Fiddler's [G]Green
[]


Now I d[G]on't want a [C]harp nor a [G]halo, not [Em]me
Just [G]give me a [C]breeze on a [G]good rolling [D]sea
I'll [C]play me old squeezebox as [G]we sail a[D]long
With the [G]wind in the [C]rigging to [G]sing me a [D]song


[chorus]
Wrap me [G]up in me [D]oilskins and [G]blanket
No [C]more on the [G]docks I'll be [D]seen
Just [C]tell me old shipmates, I'm [G]taking a trip, mates
and [D]I'll see you some day on [D7]Fiddler's [G]Green
