Donovan – Wynken Blynken And Nod (Guitar)

Dm                   G                     Am              G
Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night, sailed off in a wooden shoe,

     C                      Am            Dm            G
They sailed down a river of crystal light into a sea of dew.

     Dm                      G                      Am                 G
"Now where are you going and what do you wish?" the old moon asked the three.

       C                         Am                Dm                    G
"We're going out fishing for the herring fish that live in the beautiful sea,

         F          G                   Dm                   G
And such silver and gold have we," said Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.

       Dm                   G                   Am                     G
So the old moon laughed and sang a song as they rocked in their wooden shoe,

        C                     Am             Dm                   G
And the breeze that sped them all night long ruffled the waves of dew.

        Dm                        G                 Am                    G
Now the stars in the sky were the herring fish that live in the beautiful sea

     C                  Am             Dm                 G
Come cast your nets wherever you wish, never a-feared are we.

   F                     G                Dm                   G
So sang the stars to the fishermen three, Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.

   Dm                   G                      Am                     G
So all night long their nets they threw to the stars in the twinklin' foam

     C                          Am            Dm                     G
Then down from the sky came the wooden shoe a-bringin' the fishermen home.

      Dm                 G                  Am              G
'Twas all so beautiful a sight it seemed as if it could not be.

    C                           Am                       Dm                    G
And some folks thought it was a dream they dreamed while sailin' the beautiful sea

    F                    G                Dm                   G        
But I shall name you the fishermen three, Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.

    Dm                     G                   Am              G
Now Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes and Nod is a little head.

        C                     Am                  Dm                G
And the breeze that sped them all night long is a wee one's trundle bed.

   Dm                 G                   Am                    G
So close your eyes as mother sings of the beautiful sights that be,

    C                  Am                     Dm                 G
And you shall see such wondrous things as you rock in your misty sea.

   F                     G                Dm                   G
So sang the stars to the fishermen three, Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.
