Intro:
Am   Amsus2   Am   Amsus2

Verse 1:
      Am           Amsus2      F        GThree fishers went sailing out into the west,
    Am       Amsus2      Em       GOut into the west as the sun went down,
     F              F          C             GEach thought on the woman that loved him the best,
        Am             Amsus2        F          GAnd the children stood watching them out of the town,

Chorus:
    C        C        F          GFor men must work and women must weep,
            Am        Amsus2   Em      GFor there's little to earn and many to keep,
        F       F      Am    GAnd the harbour bar be moanin',
    Am      F      G     CThe harbour bar be moanin'.

Verse 2:
Three wives sat up in the lighthouse tower,
They trimmed the lamps as the sun went down,
And they looked at the squall and they looked at the shower,
And the night wrack came rollin' in, ragged and brown.

Chorus

Verse 3:
Three corpses lay out on the shining sand,
In the morning gleam as the tide went down,
And the women were weepin' and wringin' their hands,
For those who would never come back to the town.
