Oh, it was a fine and a pleasant day out of Yarmouth Harbour I was tearing,
as a cabin boy on a sailing logger, for to go and hunt the shoals of [C#m] herring.
[F#]
[C#] [G#]
The work was hard [F#] and [C#] the hours were long, and the treatment sure it took [G#] some bearing.
[G#] There was little kindness [F#]
and the [C#] kicks were many, as we hunted for the shoals of herring.
[G#] [B]
[C#]
Oh, we fished the swamp [F#]
and the [C#] broken bank, I was cook and I did [G#] quarter sharing.
[C#] And I used to sleep [F#]
standing [C#] on my feet, and I'd dream about the [G#] shoals of [C#] herring.
Oh, [A#m]
[C#] [A#m]
we left the home [G#] grounds in the [C#] month of June, and the canny shields we [G#] soon was bearing,
[C#] with a hundred [F#] pounds of the [G#] silver [C#] darlin' that we'd taken from the [G#] shoals of [C#] herring.
[G#]
[C#] [F#]
Now you're up on deck, [G#]
you're a [C#] fisherman, you can swear and show a [G#] manly bearing.
[C#] Take your turn on [F#] watch with the [G#] other [C#] fellows, while you're searching for the [G#] shoals of [C#] herring.
[F#] [C#]
In the stormy seas [B]
and the [C#] living gales, just to earn your daily bread [G#] you're daring,
[G#] from the Dover Straits [F#]
to the [C#] Clare, Ohio, as you're following
[G#] shoals of [C#] herring.
Well, [G#m]
[C#] [A#m] [C#]
I earned the gear [F#]
and I [C#] paved my way, and I earned the gear what I [G#] was wearing.
[C#] Sailed a million [F#] miles, caught ten [C#] million fishes, we were [G#] sailing after shoals of herring.
