Liam Clancy - Fiddler's Green
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[INTRO] 
C
[VERSE 1]
As I walked down the Fdockside one Cevening so Amfair
To Cview the still Fwaters and to Ctake the salt Gair
I Fheard an old fisherman Csinging a song
He said, "GTake me away lads, me Ctime is not Glong"
[CHORUS]
Wrap me Cup in me Goilskins and Cjumper
No Fmore on the Cdocks I'll be Gseen
Just Ftell me old shipmates, I'm Ctaking a trip mates
And GI'll see you one day in Fiddler's CGreenG  C  
[VERSE 2]
Now, Fiddler's FGreen is a Cplace I've heard Amtell
Where Cfishermen Fgo if they Cdon't go to Ghell
Where the Fweather is fair and the Cdolphins do play
And the Gcold coasts of Greenland are Cfar, far aGway
[CHORUS]
Wrap me Cup in me Goilskins and Cjumper
No Fmore on the Cdocks I'll be Gseen
Just Ftell me old shipmates, I'm Ctaking a trip mates
And GI'll see you one day in Fiddler's CGreen
[VERSE 3]
Oh, the weather is Ffair and there's Cnever a Amgale
And the Cfish jump aFboard with one Cswish of their Gtail
You can Flie in your hammock, there's Cno work to do
And the Gskipper's below making Ctea for the Gcrew
[CHORUS]
Wrap me Cup in me Goilskins and Cjumper
No Fmore on the Cdocks I'll be Gseen
Just Ftell me old shipmates, I'm Ctaking a trip mates
And GI'll see you one day in Fiddler's CGreenG  C  
[VERSE 4]
Oh, I don't need a Fharp nor a Chalo, not Amme
Just Cgive me a Fbreeze and a Cgood rolling Gsea
And I'll Fplay this old squeezebox as Cwe sail along
With the Gwind in the rigging to Csing me a Gsong
[CHORUS]
Wrap me Cup in me Goilskins and Cjumper
No Fmore on the Cdocks I'll be Gseen
Just Ftell me old shipmates, I'm Ctaking a trip mates
And GI'll see you one day in Fiddler's CGreenG  C
