[G] _ You know [A] meet the lads this is [N] Declan on the keyboards over here
_ _ _ [G] _
Charlene on the [D] cello hasn't played [N] anything yet, but she will _ Martin Murray on the fiddle _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
He's _ usually on the fiddle _ Paul Grant on the guitar _ _ _
_ And _ _ _ _ _ I'm Liam
_ [N] _ _ Probably _ _ _ _ _ one of the most [Abm]
requested songs that I've done over the years
It's been the song written by you and McCall made some lovely song _ _
He did it for a program on the BBC called sing in the fishing [E] and what he did to make the song _ _
was that he took the words he tape-recorded all the _ old fishermen up along the east coast of England _ and
He never used one word of his own or one line of his own
All he did was he rhymed the lines that the fishermen [Ab] had given him
_ And [F] he made it into a song called the shoals [Ab] of Harry _
With _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] our nets and [Bb] gear we're fair
_ [Ab] _ On _ _ _ _ _ _ the wild and [Db] _ _ _ wasteful _ _ [Eb] Ocean
_ _ It's _ _
_ [Ab] out there on the [Db] deep
That we harvest and [Ab] reap
_ _ As _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab]
we hunt _ _ the _ _ [Db] bunny show _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] Oh
It _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
was on a [Db] fair and [Eb]
[Ab] pleasant day out of the arm
Harbor, I was [Eb] _ spayed _ [Ab] as a
Coven [Db] _ boy or the [Ab] sailing lover
For to hunt the [Db] bunny [Eb] shoals of [Ab] heaven. _ _ _ _
Oh
We left the home [Db] grounds [Eb] in [Ab] the month of June and her Connie she is we soon [Eb] were a
Baron with [Ab] a hundred
[Db] _ of the [Eb] [Ab] silver dollars
That we'd taken from the [Eb] shoals
_ [Ab] _ Now _ _ _ the work was [Db] hard [Ab] and the hours were long and the treatment sure a took [Db] some _ [Eb] pain
[Ab] And I [Db] used to sleep _ standing [Ab] on my feet I dream [Db] about
_ [Eb] _
[Ab] Now _ _ _ _ _ _ you're up on [Db] deck you're a [Ab] _
fisherman and you're learning all about [Eb] _ seafaring
_ [Ab] That's your [Db] education scraps of _ [Ab] navigation as you hunt [Fm] the bunny
[Eb] shoals of [Ab] Harry
_ _ _ _ In the stormy [Db] seas and the living [Ab] gales I
_ Earned the gear that I [Eb] was wearing
_ [Fm] [Ab] sail ten [Db] thousand miles
Got ten million [Ab] fishes as we hunted for [Db] [Eb] souls
_ [Ab] And _ _ _ _ _ _ it's night and _ day [Eb] We're free
[Ab] _ _ Come _ _ _ _ _ _ winter _ [Db] _
way
_ _ Our winter _
[Eb] game _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ Sweating our [Db] _ code
_ _ _ Growing up growing old [Ab] _ [Fm] as _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] we _ hunt _ _ the bunny [Db] _ _ shoals _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
