[D] [G]
There are wild and rocky hills [F] on the coast of [G] Donegal The fishermen are hardy, [D] brave and free
[G] And the big Atlantic swell [F] is a thing they know [G] right well As they fight to [D] take a lift from [G] the sea
With the pleasant rolling sea [C] and the herring [G] running free The fleet all riding gently through [D] the foam
When the boats are [G] loaded down [C] there'll be singing [G] in the town When the boys from [D] Killiebex come [G] rolling home
[D] [G]
Now you've done your rubber boots, [F] you've got your oil [G] skins on You check your gear to see that it's [D] okay
[G] And your jumper keeps you warm [F] for it's cold before [G] the dawn Then you're ready [D] to begin another [G] day
With the pleasant rolling sea [C] and the herring [G] running free The fleet all riding gently through [D] the foam

Now the weather's blowing rough [F] and the workers very [G] tough And the ropes will raise the welts upon [D] your hands
But [G] you'll never leave the sea, [F] or whoever you [G] may be When it's in your blood [D] it's hard to live [G] on land

[D] [G]
Well there's purple on the hill, [F] there's green down by [G] the shore The sun has cast it's gold upon [D] the sea
And [G] there's silver down below [F] where the herring fishes [G] go When they catch them they'll [D] be gold for you [G] and me
