Chords for Shoals Of Herring - Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem

[A] _ _ With our nets and gear [Bm] we're fed
[A] On _ _ _ the [G] [A] wild and [D] _ _ [A] wasteful [E] ocean
_ _ It's [A] out [D] there on the deep
That we harvest and [E] [A] reap our bread
_ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _
[A] As we _ hunt the [D] bunny _ shows _ [A] [E] off hand

_ _ _ It was on a fair and pleasant day
Out of Yarmouth [E] Harbour I was fairin'
[A] As a [D] cabin [A] boy on a sailin' lover
For to hunt the bunny shows off herring
Oh we left our grounds in the month of June
And for canny shields we [E] soon were bearing
[A] With a [D] hundred [A] crowns of the silver darlings
That we'd taken from the shows off herring
Now the work was [A] hard and the hours were long
And the treatment sure [E] it took some bearing
[A] [D] And I used to sleep standing [A] on my feet
And I'd dream about the shows off herring
Now you're a Montague, you're a fisherman
And you're learning all [E] about seafaring
[A] [D] That's your education, scraps of [A] navigation
As you hunt the bunny shows off _ herring
In the stormy seas and the living gales
I earned the gear [E] that I was wearing
[A] Sail ten [D] thousand [A] miles, caught ten billion fishes
As we hunted for [E] the [A] shows off herring
And it's night and day [E] we're _ [A] _ fairing _
_ _ [B] Come [A] winter [D] wave _ our winter [E] game
_ Sweating _
[A] our [D] cold, _ [A] growing up, [D] growing old, [A] our dying
_ _ [F#m] _

_ There was once a [D] young man who felt very insignificant in life
He had [Dm] a terrible inferiority [D] complex
And he was socially very awkward
Wherever he was, the action was always somewhere else
And he never felt the centre of attraction until he died
And at his own wake and everybody gathered round
And
