[F] [Bb] [F]
[C] [F]
There are wild and rocky hills [Eb] on the [Bb] coast [F] of Donegal,
And the fishermen [Bb] [F] are [C] hardy, brave and free.
[F] And a big Atlantic swell [Eb] is the [Bb] thing they [F] know right well,
As they fight to [C] make a living [F] from the sea.
With a pleasant rolling sea [Bb] and air and [F] running free,
And the fleet all [Bb] riding gently [C] through the foam,
[F]
When the boats are loaded down [Bb] they'll be singing [F] in the town,
When the boys of [C] Killy Banks come [F] rolling home.
And you've done your rubber boots, [Eb] and you've [Bb] got your [F] oil skins on,
And you've checked your gear before you [C] sail away,
[F] And your jumpers keep you warm [Eb] for it's [Bb] cold [F] before the dawn,
And you're ready [C] to begin [F] another day.
With a pleasant rolling sea [Bb] and air and [F] running free,
And the fleet all riding gently [C] through the foam,
[F]
When the boats are loaded down [Bb] they'll be singing [F] in the town,
When the boys of [C] Killy Banks come [F] rolling home.
Now you're headed out to sea [Eb] and the [Bb] wind is [F] blowing free,
And you cast your [Bb] nets as [F] rain [C] begins to fall,
[F] But the sun comes riding high [Eb] and the [Bb] clouds will [F] soon go by,
And today you'll [C] maybe take a [F] bumper haul.
With a pleasant rolling sea [Bb] and air and [F] running free,
And the fleet all [Bb] riding gently [C] through the foam,
[F]
When the boats are loaded down [Bb] they'll be singing [F] in the town,
When the boys of [C] Killy Banks come [F] rolling home.
[G]
When the weather's low and rough [F] and the [C] work is [G] very tough,
And the ropes will [C] raise the wealths [D] upon your hand,
[G] But you'll never leave the sea [F] for [C] whoever [G] you may be,
When it's in your blood [D] it's hard to [G] live on land.

Well there's purple on the hills [F] and there's [C] green down [G] by the shore,
And the sun is still as gold upon [D] the sea,
[G] And there's silver down below [F] where the [C] herring fishes [G] go,
And we catch them [D] we'll have gold for you [G] and me.
With a pleasant rolling sea [C] and air and [G] running free,
