oh it was a fine and a pleasant day
G#m F#m E ( E/F#m ) ( E/G#m )
out of yarmouth harbor i was faring
A D F#m
as a cabin boy on a sailing lugger
A D E A
for to hunt the bonny shoals of herring
now you’re up on deck , you’re a fisherman
you can swear show a manly barren
take your turn and watch with the other fellas
as you hunt the bonnie shoals of herring
well i earned my keep and i paid my way
and i earned the gear that i was wearing
i sailed a million mile , caught ten million fishes
we were dreaming of the shoals of herring
A D A
night and day the seas were daring
A C E
come wind oh come more winter again
A D A D F#m
sweating or cold , growing up , growing old , or dying
