[G]
We are the [D] Irish fishermen [C] who work on the [G] ground beneath
Through the storms of [E] winter gales
[G] Trying to [D] make a living [C] pulling cod fish [G] from the seas
And hunting for the big black whales
We work out on [D] the grand banks in [C] the sun and wind [G] and rain
[C] Two [G] thousand miles from all [D] over the land
[G] We filled the holes [D] with salt fish [C] before [G] heading back again
[C] Found [D] the shores and we [G] found the land
Nine long months away from [C] home no man on [G] board could bear
[C] It's a [G] loneliness to [D] have to stand
So [G] we gathered up [D] our families and [C] we're going to [G] settle here
[C] Found [D] the shores and we [G] found the land
[D] And we brought along our [G] stories and we brought along our [C] songs
[G] Warm at the end of [D] winter's cold
But we won't forget our history [G] boys, not forget where we came from
[C] The water [G] trials that time will [C] bring through all [G] the years that [D] we go
[G] Our father and [D] daughters have brought us [C] troubled country [G] to despair
[C]
[G] Unruly, quaint and [D] iron hand
[G] We take out [D] some safe harbor and [C] forget [G] about our [C] cares
Found [D] the shores and we [G] found the land
[D] [C] [G] [C]
[G] [D] [G]
[D] [C] [G] [C]
[D] [G] The seas are full [D] of cod fish [C] and the woods are [G] full of deer
[C] And the [G] peace that's hard to [D] understand
[G] We take our chance [D] on not being [C] caught to make a home [G] right [C] here
Found [D] the shores and we [G] found the land
[D] And we brought along our [G] stories and we brought along our songs
[C]
[G] Warm at the end of [D] winter's cold
But we won't forget our history boys, [G] not forget where we came from
[C] The water [G] trials that time will bring [C] through all [G] the years that we [D] go
[G] For we are the [D] Irish fishermen [C] in the world called [G] Rumpeldy
[C] And it's [G] here we will make [D] our stand
[G] We're going to make [D] a living [C] calling God's peace from [G] the seas
[C] Found [D] the shores and we [G] found the land
[C] Found [D] the shores and [G] we found the land
