[Verse 1]
   G                                       Em
As I walked by the dockside one evening so fair

                                        Am  Am7  D7
To view the salt water and take the sea air

  C             G        Bm
I heard an old fisherman singing a song

          Am                   C           D7
Won't you take me away boys my time is not long
[Chorus]
        G        D            G
Wrap me up in me oilskins and jumper

   C           G             D
no more on the docks I'll be seen

     C                          G        Bm
Just tell me old ship mates I'm taking a trip mates

    Am           D7                  G
And I'll see you someday in Fiddlers Green
[Verse 2]
    G                                Em
Now Fiddlers Green is a place I hear tell

                                       Am  Am7  D7
Where fishermen go if they don't go to hell

          C             G             Bm
Where the skies are all clear and the dolphins do play

        Am                         C         D7
And the cold coast of Greenland is far, far away
[Chorus]
        G        D            G
Wrap me up in me oilskins and jumper

   C           G             D
no more on the docks I'll be seen

     C                          G        Bm
Just tell me old ship mates I'm taking a trip mates

    Am           D7                  G
And I'll see you someday in Fiddlers Green
[Verse 3]
         G                                     Em
When you get to the docks and the long trip is thru

                                                        Am  Am7  D7
There's pub and there's clubs and there's lassies there too

          C             G          Bm
Where the girls are all pretty and beer it is free

            Am                     C          D7
And there's bottles of rum growing from every tree
[Chorus]
        G        D            G
Wrap me up in me oilskins and jumper

   C           G             D
no more on the docks I'll be seen

     C                          G        Bm
Just tell me old ship mates I'm taking a trip mates

    Am           D7                  G
And I'll see you someday in Fiddlers Green
[Verse 4]
      G                                Em
Now I don't want a harp or a halo, not me

                                         Am  Am7  D7
Just give me a breeze and a good rolling sea

     C           G              Bm
I'll play me old squeeze box as we sail along

         Am                     C         D7
With the wind in the rigging to sing us a song
[Chorus]
        G        D            G
Wrap me up in me oilskins and jumper

   C           G             D
no more on the docks I'll be seen

     C                          G        Bm
Just tell me old ship mates I'm taking a trip mates

    Am           D7                  G
And I'll see you someday in Fiddlers Green
