Come [Dm]all ye [C]gallant [Dm]fisher[C]men that [Dm]plough the [C]stormy [Dm]sea,
The [Am]whole year [Dm]round on the [G]fishing [Dm]grounds
On the [C]Northern [Dm]Minch and the [C]Nor-way [Dm]Deeps,
On the [C]banks and [A7]Knolls of the [Dm]North Sea [Am]holes
Where the [Dm]herring [C]shoals are [Dm]found

It's [Dm]there you'll [C]find the [Dm]Norfolk [C]boys and the [Dm]lads from [C]Peter [Dm]head,
There's [Am]Buckie [Dm]chiels* and [G]men from [Dm]Shields,
On the [C]Northern [Dm]Minch and the [C]Nor-way [Dm]Deeps,
On the [C]banks and [A7]Knolls of the [Dm]North Sea [Am]holes
Where the [Dm]herring [C]shoals are [Dm]found

From [Dm]Fraser[C]borough and [Dm]Aber[C]deen, from [Dm]Whitby, [C]Yarmouth [Dm]town,
The [Am]fleets a[Dm]way at the [G]break of [Dm]day
To the [C]Northern [Dm]Minch and the [C]Nor-way [Dm]Deeps,
To the [C]banks and [A7]Knolls of the [Dm]North Sea [Am]holes
Where the [Dm]herring [C]shoals are [Dm]found


It's [Dm]off with a [C]boiler [Dm]full of [C]steam and your [Dm]engine [C]spic and [Dm]span,
To [Am]fish the [Dm]grounds the [G]North Sea [Dm]round,
And [C]fish the [Dm]Knolls and the [C]North Sea [Dm]holes
And [C]try your [A7]luck at the [Dm]North Shields [Am]Gut
With a [Dm]catch of a [C]hundred [Dm]cran*

No [Dm]need to [C]wait for [Dm]wind and [C]tide, you're the [Dm]master [C]of the [Dm]sea,
Come [Am]calm or [Dm]squall, just [G]shoot and [Dm]haul
And [C]fill the [Dm]hold with the [C]fish to be [Dm]sold
And [C]steam a[A7]head for the [Dm]curing [Am]shed
And [Dm]the buyers on the [C]Yarmouth [Dm]quay

The [Am]whole year [Dm]round on the [G]fishing [Dm]grounds
On the [C]Northern [Dm]Minch and the [C]Nor-way [Dm]Deeps,
On the [C]banks and [A7]Knolls of the [Dm]North Sea [Am]holes
Where the [Dm]herring [C]shoals are [Dm]found
