The Tragically Hip – Fiddlers Green (Guitar)

               E
September seventeen

                      A
To a girl I know it's mothers day

                 E
Her son has gone alee

                         B
And that's where he will stay

                   E
Wind on the weathervane

                  A
Tearing blue eyes sailor mean

                    E
As Falstaff sings a sorrowful refrain

D                      E
For a boy on Fiddler's Green

                 E
His tiny knotted heart

                      A
Well I guess it never worked too good 

                 E
The timber tore apart

                         B
And the water gorged the wood

                           E
You can hear her whispered prayer

                       A
For men at masts that always lean

                             E
The same wind that moves her hair

D                               E
Moves her boy through Fiddler's Green

    B                    A
Oh, nothing's changed anyway

    B                    A
Oh, nothing's changed anyway

    B       E
Anytime today

                  E
He doesn't know a soul 

                              A
And there's nowhere that he's really been

                     E
But he won't travel long alone

                    B
No not on Fiddler's Green

                         E
Balloons all filled with rain

                        A
As children's eyes turn sleepy mean

                        E
And Falstaff sings a sorrowful refrain

D                      E
For a boy on Fiddler's Green
