Clancy Brothers - The Shoals of Herring (Liam Clancy - alternate version) chords
Start Jamming...
[A] With our nets and gear [E]
we're [A] faring
On the [D] wildest fall [Bm] ocean
[E]
It's [A] out there on [D] the deep
That we harvest and reap our [A] bread
[F#m]
[A] As we hunt the bunny [D] show
[G] [B] of hay
[A]
It was on a fair [D] and a pleasant [A] day
Out of Yarmouth Harbour I [E] was faring
[A] As a cabin [D] boy on a [A] sailing logger
Far to hunt the bunny [D] [E] shoals of [A] hay
Oh we left the home [D] grounds in [A] the month of June
And for canny shills we soon [E] were [C#] faring
[A] With a [D] hundred crown of the silver [A] darlings
We'd taken from [D] the shoals [E] of [A] hay
Now the work was [D] hard and the hours [A] were long
And the treatment sure it took [Em] some bearing
[A] And I used [D] to sleep standing on me [A] feet
And I'd dream about [D] the shoals [E] of hay
[A]
Now you're up on [D] deck, you're a [A] fisherman
And you're learning all about [E]
seafaring
[A] That's your [D] education scraps of [A] navigation
As you hunt the bunny shoals [E] of [A] hay
In the stormy [D] seas and the [A] living gales
I earned the gear that [E] I was wearing
[A] Sailed ten thousand [D] miles, caught ten million [A] fishes
As we hunted for [D] the [E] shoals of [A] hay
And it's night and day [E] we're [A] faring
Come winter
[D] wave or [Bm] winter [E] gale
[A] Sweating our [D]
coal, growing up, growing old
[A] [F#m]
As [Am] we hunt the bunny [D] shoals [E] of [Bm]
hay
