[G] [C]
We are nets and gear, [D] we're fair, [C]
on a wide and [Dm]
wasteful ocean.
It's there on the deep that we [D] harvest [F] and reap.
[C] Our breath
[Am] [C]
as we hum the barren
[F] shores, [D] oh, [C]
howl.
Twas a fine and a pleasant summer's day, out a yon tomber I was [G] bearing.
As a [F] cabin boy [C] on a sailing log I [Am] was
[C] [F] [G] a-haring.
[C]
Now the work was hard and the hours were long, and the treatment surely [Am] took some [G] bearing.
[C] There was little kindness and the kicks were many.
[Am] [C] As we hunted for [F] the [G] shoals, oh, [C] howl.
We fished the swarf and the broken bank.
I was cook and I was water [G]
-sharing.
[C] And I [Am] used to sleep standing on [C] my bed,
[Am] [C] dream about [F] the [G] shoals, oh, [C] howl.
Now we left the home [Am] ground in the [C] month of June,
and for collie shills we soon [Am] were [G] bearing.
[C] We a [F]-hundred crown, [G] oh, the silver [C]
darlings,
[Am] that [C] we'd taken from [F] the shore.
[A] [C]
Now you're up on deck, [F] [A] you're a [C] fisherman,
you can swear and show a [G] manly bearing.
[C] Take your turn on deck with [A] the [C] other fellows,
[Am] as [C] you're following [F] the [G] shoals, oh, [C] howl.
Through the stormy seas and the livin' gales,
just stay on your daily breath, you're [G] daring.
[C] From the [F] Dover Straits to the [C] Faroe Islands,
[Am] [C]
[F] the [G] shoals, oh, howl.
[C]
Night and day,
[A] [C]
come winter [Dm] wind or winter gale,
sweat or cold, growing up, growing
[F] [C]
up.
As you're hunting for the [F] shoals, [D] oh, howl.
We are nets and gear, [D] we're fair, [C]
