Well, here I am in Yonkers [Eb] on this soft [Bb] September day. _
My heart is sad and lonely, _
[C] for I am [F] far away [Bb] from friends I knew in Chiditoor.
[Eb] Oh, it seems so [Bb] long ago, _ since I was just a little [Eb] girl [Bb] in the green [F] fields [Bb] round our boat. _
Last night as I was playing, [Eb] they asked for [Bb] one song more.
But I wished I was in Dublin, [C] just to hear the [F] red hand roar.
[Bb] Though I am not in Ireland, [Eb] I still want [Bb] you to know,
there's a welcome for the sound [Eb] of wire [Bb] in the green [F] fields [Bb] round our boat.
[Eb] Oh, well do I remember [Bb] each boat caller by name,
[Eb] the Devlin, Steady, Turbot, [Bb] Eggie Jones of [F] lasting fame,
[Bb] but the greatest man that we have seen, [Eb] the best we'll [Bb] ever know,
was a man named Frank McGuigan [Eb] from [Bb] the green [F] fields [Bb] round our boat. _

[Bb] _ _ [F] _ [Bb] _ _ [G]
[C] As you cross the bridge at Ucknock [F] Lloyd, or travel through [C] the Void,
and stop to rest at Ulma, _
[D] Coal Island and [G] Pomeroy,
[C] just ask for Frank McGuigan, [F] and I know that [C] he will show
the road that leads to heaven [F] and [C] the green [G] fields [C] round our boat.
Well now my story's over, [F] and I can [C] only pray
that God smiles on our captain [D] as he leads us [G] out today.
[C] From New York to Philadelphia, [F] Kip Caw to [C] Buffalo, _
we'll be hoping he will take [F] the sound [C] to the green [G] fields [C] round our boat.
[F] Oh, well do I remember [C] each boat caller by name,
[F] the Devlin, Steady, Turbot, [C] Eggie Jones of [G] lasting fame,
[C] but the greatest man that we have seen, [F] the best we'll [C] ever know,
was a man named Frank McGuigan [F]
[C] from the green fields [G] round [C] our boat.
The mighty Frank McGuigan [F]
[C] from the green fields [G] round [C] our boat. _
