[G] [D] [G]

[VERSE]
Where do you [D]go, little [G]herring, what do you see, tail and [D]fin?
"[G]Blue and green, [F]cold and [G]dark, seaweed [F]growing [G]high
[C]Hills a hundred fathom [G]deep where the dead men [D]lie
[C]Dogfish eyes and mackerel's [G]eyes and they hunger after [D]me
[G]Net or weir, [F]I don't [G]care, catch me [F]if you [G]can." [F] [G] [F] [G]

[VERSE]
Where do you [D]go, little [G]boat, tar and timber, plank and [D]sail?
"[G]I go to [F]green [G]bays, lift them [F]under [G]me
[C]Cold, grey, combing [G]seas come to bury [D]me
[C]Rocky jaws and stony [G]claws and, oh, they hunger after [D]me
[G]Harbours cold, [F]deep and [G]bold, I wish that [F]I could [G]see." [F] [G] [F] [G]

[VERSE]
What do you [D]see, fisher[G]man, poor old sailor, blood and [D]bone?
"[G]Mackerel skies, [F]mares' [G]tails, reef and [F]furl and [G]steer
[C]Poor haul and hungry [G]days, rotten line and [D]gear
[C]Snow, wind and winter [G]gales and, oh, they hunger after [D]me
[G]Net or weir, [F]I don't [G]care, catch you [F]if I [G]can." [F] [G] [F] [G]
