Chords for Luke Kelly - The Shoals of Herring [Audio Stream]

[C] _ _ _ _ _ With our _ nets and gear [G] we're fed _
[C] On _ _ _ _ the _ wild and _ _ peaceful _ ocean
_ _ _ It's _ _ [Em] out _ [C] there on the deep
We harvest [F] and reap [C]
our bread
_ _ _ As we hunt the bunny _ shoals [G] of the head
Oh, [C] _ _ _ _ it was a fine and pleasant day
Out of the arm of the [G] house bearing
On [C] _
_ a sailing lugger we were following
[G] The shoals of [C] herring
_ Now you're a bond deck, you're a fisherman
You can swear and show and [G] manly bearing
[Em] Take [C] your turn and watch with the other fellas
As you're hunting [G] for the shoals of [C] herring _
Now we fished the swart and the broken bang
I was cook and I'd a quarter [G]-share in
And [C] I used to sleep standing on me feet
As we hunted [G] for the shoals of [C] _ herring
We left the home grounds in the months of June
And for canny she's we still [G] were bearing
With [C] a hundred crowns of the silver darlings
That we'd taken from the [G] shoals of [C] _ _ herring
In the stormy seas and the living gales
Just to earn your daily bread
[G] _ [Em] From [C] the Dover straits to the Faroe Islands
And you're hunting [G] for the shoals of [C] herring _ _
Well I earned me keep and they paid me way
And I earned a gear that I [G] _ could bring
[C] Sailed a million miles, caught ten million fishes
We were hunting [G] after shoals of [C] _ _ herring
You're net-rope man now, boy you're on the move
And you're learning all out [G] _ seafaring
[C] That's your education, scraps of navigation
As you hunt the funny [G] shoals of [C] _ herring _
Night and day the seas [G] were _ [C] daring
_ _ _ Come wind [A] our car, _ [Em] _ winter _ _
[C] _ gale
_ _ _ Sweating [Cm] or cold, [Em] going [C] up _ _ _ or dying
_ _ As you hunt the funny [G] _ shoals of _ _ _ [C] herring _ _ _
