    G                                          Em        G
    As i walked by the dockside one evening so fair,-- To view the salt

                           Am   D7     C                      G
    water and take the sea air, --- I heard an old fisherman singing a

     Bm               Am                  C               D7
    song, ---- won't you take me away boys my time is not long.---
[Chorus]
            G        D            G               C           G
    Wrap me up in my oil-skin and jumper,---- No more on the docks ill be

     D                 C                          G           Bm
    seen.-----  Just tell me oul' ship-mates i'm taking a trip mates ,

          Am             D7                  G
    and i'll see you some day in Fidlers--Green.----
[Verse 2]
    G                                     Em
    Now Fiddlers Green is a place I heard tell,

    G                                          Am   D7
    Where the 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               C           G
    Wrap me up in my oil-skin and jumper,---- No more on the docks ill be

    and i'll see you some day in Fidlers--Green.----
[Verse 3]
    G                                                  Em
    When you get off the docks and the long trip is through,

    G                                                     Am   D7
    There's pub's, there's clubs and there's lassies there too,

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

                 Am                     C         D7
    And there's bottles of rum growing from every tree.
[Chorus]
            G        D            G               C           G
    Wrap me up in my oil-skin and jumper,---- No more on the docks ill be

          Am             D7                  G
    and i'll see you some day in Fidlers--Green.----
[Verse 4]
    G                                     Em
    Now, I don't want a harp nor a halo, not me,

    G                                        Am   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 me along.
[Chorus]
            G        D            G               C           G
    Wrap me up in my oil-skin and jumper,---- No more on the docks ill be

     D                 C                          G           Bm
    seen.-----  Just tell me oul' ship-mates i'm taking a trip mates ,

          Am             D7                  G
    and i'll see you some day in Fidlers--Green.----
(SLOW)
       C                          G           Bm
 Just tell me oul' ship-mates i'm taking a trip mates ,

          Am             D7                  G
   and i'll see you some day in Fidlers--Green.----
