Chords for Luke Kelly-(The Bonny) Shoals Of Herring-Lyrics

[C] _ _ _ _ _ With our nets and [G] gear we're _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ ferrying
On the wild _ and _ [Am] _ [Cm] _
wasteful _ [C] _ _ ocean _ _
It's [Em] out there [C] on the deep
We _ harvest and [F] reap [C] our bread
As _ we hunt the bunny _ shoals [G] of hay
_ _ [C] _ _ Oh, it was a fine and a pleasant day
Out of Yarmouth Harbour I [G] was ferrying
[C] As a cabin boy on a sailing lugger
We were following [G] the shoals of [C] _ herring
Now you're up on deck, you're a fisherman
You can swear and show a [G] manly bearing
[C] Take your turn and watch with the other fellas
As you're hunting [G] for the shoals of _ [C] herring
_ Now we fished the swart and the broken bank
I was cook and I'd a quarter [G] sharing
And [C] I used to sleep standing on me feet
As we hunted for [G] the shoals of [C] _
herring
We left the home grounds in the months of June
And for canny shields we [G] soon were bearing
[C] With a hundred crowns of the silver darlings
That we'd taken from [G] the shoals of [C] _
herring
In the stormy seas and the living gales
Just to earn your daily [G] bread you're ferrying
[Em] [C] From the Dover Straits to the Faroe Islands
And you're hunting for [G] the shoals of [C] _
herring
Well I earned me keep and I paid me way
And I earned the gear that [G] I was wearing
[C] Sailed a million miles, caught ten million fishes
We were hunting [G] after shoals of [C] herring
_ _ You're net rope man now, boy you're on the move
And you're learning all about [G] _
seafaring
[C] That's your education, scraps of navigation
As you hunt the funny [G] shoals of [C] herring
_ _ Night and day the [G] seas were _ _ [C] daring _ _
[C#m] Come wind [A] or come [C#] [Em] our _ _ [C] winter gale _ _
_ _ Sweating or [Cm] _ cold, [G] growing [C] up, growing _ old or dying
_ _ As you hunt the funny [G] _ shoals [Em] of _ _ [G] _ _
[C] herring
_ _ _ you _
