Shoals Of Herring(Chords)

	        A                D     E         A 
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 
A                     D         E   A 
As we dream about the shoals of herring
