[Intro] Am Asus2 Am Asus2 [Verse 1]
      Am           Asus2       F        G
Three fishers went sailing out into the west

    Am       Asus2       Em       G
Out into the west as the sun went down

     F              F          C             G
Each thought on the woman that loved him the best,

        Am             Asus2         F          G
and the children stood watching them out of the town
[Chorus]
    C        C        F          G
For men must work and women must weep

    Am               Asus2     Em     G
For there's little to earn and many to keep,

        F       F      Am G
and the harbour bar be moanin',

        Am      F      G  C
and the harbour bar be moanin'
F C C/B [Verse 2]
      Am        Asus2        F       G
Three wives sat up in the lighthouse tower

      Am         Asus2        Em       G
They trimmed the lamps as the sun went down,

    F                  F               C             G
and they looked at the squall and they looked at the shower,

    Am             Asus2             F          G
and the night-wrack came rollin' in, ragged and brown
[Chorus]
    C        C        F          G
For men must work and women must weep

       Am        Asus2          Em        G
Though storms be sudden and the waters be deep,

        F       F      Am G
and the harbour bar be moanin',

        Am      F      G  C
and the Harbour bar be moanin'
F C C/B [Violin Solo] Am Asus2 F G Am Asus2 Em G F F C G Am Asus2 F G [Chorus]
    C        C        F          G
For men must work and women must weep

       Am        Asus2          Em        G
Though storms be sudden and the waters be deep,

        F       F      Am G
and the harbour bar be moanin',

        Am      F      G  C
and the harbour bar be moanin'
F C C/B [Verse 3]
      Am          Asus2      F       G
Three corpses lay out on the shining sand

       Am      Asus2        Em        G
In the morning gleam as the tide went down,

    F          F           C              G
The women were weepin' and wringin' their hands

    Am              Asus2      F           G
For those who would never come back to the town
[Chorus]
    C        C        F          G
For men must work and women must weep,

        Am          Asus2     Em        G
and the sooner it's over, the sooner to sleep,

           F          F           Am G
and Good - bye to the bar and its moanin',

           Am         F            G C
and Good - bye to the bar and its moanin'
[Chorus]
    C        C        F          G
For men must work and women must weep,

        Am          Asus2     Em        G
and the sooner it's over, the sooner to sleep,

           F          F           Am G
and Good - bye to the bar and its moanin',

           Am         F            G C
and Good - bye to the bar and its moanin'.
