As _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [G] _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I walk by the dockside _ one evening [Dm] so _ fair
To _ _ [F] _ view the [Bb] salt [F] waters _ _ and take the salt [C] _ air _ _
I _ [Bb] _ heard an old fisherman _ [F] singing a _ song
_ Oh, take me [C] away, boys, me time is not _ _ long
Wrap [F] me up [C] in the oil skins [F] and jumper
_ _ No [Bb] more on [F] the dockside we [C] see _ _

Where the skies are all clear and there's [Dm] never a day
_ _ [F]
And the fish jump on board with one swish of their [C] _ tail
Oh, [Bb] where you die at your leisure [F] there's no work
_ _ _ _ And the skippers [C] below, they can take all the _ _ clean
[F] Wrap me up [C] in the oil skins and [F] jumper _ _
