[G] [D] [Em]
[G] This is a sad tale I tell [D] you of a sailor man's life, [G] how his love for the high seas would [D] cost him a wife.
[Em]
[G] When I've told you my story, [D] I'm sure you'll agree, [G] it's naught but pure [E] folly when a man [Em] goes to sea.
[D] Just a young lad of twenty, I was courting a lass, [G] full of innocent beauty, [D] with style and [Em] with class.
But the ships [G] in the harbor, [D] they beckoned it seemed, I was lured by the trade winds [D] to find Fiddler's [E] Green.
And when [G] first I went sailing, how a [D] young girl did cry, but the [G] lure of the trade wind could not [Em] be denied.
And though she vowed to be faithful, [D] as my ship sailed away, [G] she would marry another [D] one year from that [Em] day.
[G] Yo [C] ho ho, Fiddler's Green, [G] be with your young sailors with all [D] of your dreams.
Yo [C] ho ho, she's calm [D] and serene, and [Em] Chapman awaits you on Fiddler's Green.

[D] [F#]
[Em] [D] Well [G] I've sailed many oceans since [D] I left Boston [G] town, and my hair has turned silver that was once [Em] chestnut brown.
[G] And from London to Bombay, and ports in [D] between, [G] I was always in search of [D] this [E] Fiddler's Green.
[Em] And to [G] the young lads now courting, [D] pretty maiden so fair, should you hear those trade winds, let me warn [Em] you beware.
Go [G] marry your young girl, [D] raise your corn and your beans, [G] don't waste your young manhood [A] on [Em] Fiddler's Green.
[D] [C] Yo ho ho, [D] Fiddler's Green, [G] be with your young sailors with all [D] of your dreams.
Yo ho [C] ho, she's calm and serene, and [Em] Chapman awaits you at [Em] Fiddler's Green.
Yo [C] ho ho, [D] Fiddler's Green, [G] be with your young sailors with all of [D] your dreams.
