-------------------------------------------------
There's a sGad tale I'll tell you of a sDailor man's life
How his lGove for the high seas would coDst him a wEmife
When I've tGold you my story I'm sDure you'll agree
It's nGot but pure folly when a mDan goes to sEmea
Just a yGoung lad of twenty I was coDurting a lass
Full of iGnnocent beauty with stDyle and with cEmlass
But the sGhips in the harbor they bDeckoned it seemed
I was lGured by the trade winds to fDind fiddler's gEmreen
When fGirst I went sailing how a yoDung girl did cry
But the lGure of the trade winds could nDot be deniEmed
And though she vGowed to be faithful as my shDip sailed away
She would mGarry another one yDear from that Emday
YGo ho hCo, fiGddler's gDreen
BewGitching young sailors with aCll of your dDreams
YGo ho hCo, she's cGalm and serDene
EnchEmantment awaits you on fDiddler's gEmreen
Well I've sGailed many oceans since I lDeft Boston town
And my hGair has turned silver that was Donce chestnut bEmrown
And from LGondon to Bombay and poDrts in between
I was Galways in search of this fDiddler's grEmeen
And to you yGoung lads now courting pretty mDaidens so fair
Should you hGear those trade winds let me wDarn you beEmware
Go mGarry your young girl, as your cDorn and your beans
Don't wGaste your young manhood on fDiddler's grEmeen
YGo ho hCo, fiGddler's gDreen
BewGitching young sailors with aCll of your dDreams
YGo ho hCo, she's cGalm and serDene
EnchEmantment awaits you on fDiddler's gEmreen

G D

There's a sad tale I'll tell you of a sailor man's life

G D Em

How his love for the high seas would cost him a wife

G D

When I've told you my story I'm sure you'll agree

G D Em

It's not but pure folly when a man goes to sea

G D

Just a young lad of twenty I was courting a lass

G D Em

Full of innocent beauty with style and with class

G D

But the ships in the harbor they beckoned it seemed

G D Em

I was lured by the trade winds to find fiddler's green

G D

When first I went sailing how a young girl did cry

G D Em

But the lure of the trade winds could not be denied

G D

And though she vowed to be faithful as my ship sailed away

G D Em

She would marry another one year from that day

G C G D

Yo ho ho, fiddler's green

G C D

Bewitching young sailors with all of your dreams

G C G D

Yo ho ho, she's calm and serene

Em D Em

Enchantment awaits you on fiddler's green

G D

Well I've sailed many oceans since I left Boston town

G D Em

And my hair has turned silver that was once chestnut brown

G D

And from London to Bombay and ports in between

G D Em

I was always in search of this fiddler's green

G D

And to you young lads now courting pretty maidens so fair

G D Em

Should you hear those trade winds let me warn you beware

G D

Go marry your young girl, as your corn and your beans

G D Em

Don't waste your young manhood on fiddler's green

G C G D

Yo ho ho, fiddler's green

G C D

Bewitching young sailors with all of your dreams

G C G D

Yo ho ho, she's calm and serene

Em D Em

Enchantment awaits you on fiddler's green
