North Sea Shoals

     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.

      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.

      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.

     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

    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.

     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.
