John Gaudie was a fine young man in shetland it was told

G                   C       G                            D    
Many's the crowd in Lerwick Town his fiddle and he did hold

        G                        C         G

                           F 
as he fiddled his tunes around

   G                 C        G                          D

                              D

C                     G                                D
He ran back to the Levenwick shore and wrote himself a tune...
