Tom: Dm
Dm C F
Come all you jolly fishermen that plough the northern sea,
Dm
The whole year round on the fishing grounds
Dm
On the Northern Minch and the Norway Deeps,
Am
On the banks and knolls of the North Sea Holes
Dm Am Dm
Where the herring shoals are found.
[Verse 2]
Dm C F
It's there you'll find the Norfolk lads and the boys from Peterhead,
Dm
There's Buckie chiels and men from Shields,
Dm
On the Northern Minch and the Norway Deeps,
Am
On the banks and knolls of the North Sea Holes
Dm Am Dm
Where the herring shoals are found.
[Verse 3]
Dm C F
From Fraserborough and Aberdeen, around by Yarmouth Town,
Dm
The fleet's away at the break of day
Dm
To the Northern Minch and the Norway Deeps,
Am
To the banks and knolls of the North Sea Holes
Dm Am Dm
Where the herring shoals are found.
[Verse 4]
Dm C F
It's off with a boiler full of steam and your engine spic and span
Dm
To fish the grounds on the North Sea round
Dm
To fish the knolls of the North Sea Holes
Am
And try your luck in the North Shields Gut
Dm Am Dm
With a catch of a hundred cran
[Verse 5]
Dm C F
No need to wait for wind or tide, you're the master of the sea,
Dm
Come gale or squall, just shoot and haul
Dm
Fill the hold with the fish to be sold,
Am
Steam ahead for the curing shed,
Dm Am Dm
And the buyer on the Yarmouth quay.
[Verse 6]
Dm C F
Come all you jolly fishermen that plough the northern sea,
Dm
The whole year round on the fishing grounds
Dm
On the Northern Minch and the Norway Deeps,
Am
On the banks and knolls of the North Sea Holes
Dm Am Dm
Where the herring shoals are found.
