Oh, [E]
[A]
it was a fine [D]
and [A] a pleasant day
Out of Yonkworth [F#m] Harbour I [E]
was fearing
As [A] a [E] cabin boy [D] on [A] a sailing [F#m] logger
[A] For to go and hunt
[D] shoals [E] of [A] herring
Now you're up on deck, you're [C#m] a [A] fisherman
You can swim [E] and show [F#] a [E] manly bearing
Take [A] your turn [E] on watch [D] with [E] the other [F#m] fellows
[A] While you're searching for your shoal [E] of
[A]
herring
Oh, I earned my keep and [E] I paid [A] my way
And I earned the gear [F#m] [E] that I was wearing
Sailed [A] a million [B]
[D] miles, [A] caught a million [F#m] fishes
[A] We were sailing after shoals of [E] [A] herring
Night and day the seas [D] were
[A] tearing
[D] Come winter wind, oh [A] winter [E]
cold
[A]
Sweating
[D] on cold, [A] growing up, growing [D] [E] older
[F#m] As
[A] you hunt the bonnet [D]
[A] shoals [E] of herring
