The Final Trawl Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Cnow it's three long yearFs since we made her pay

sing haul aAmway, my laddie-Emo

and the owners Csay that she's had her Fday

and sing haul aDmway, my laddie-Go

so pull away for the final trawl

it's an easy pull, for the catch is small

now its stow your gear lads and batten down

then I'll turn the wheel, lads, and turn her round

and we'll join "The Venture" and "The Morning Star"

riding high and empty behind the bar

for I'd rather beach her on the skerry rock

than to see her torched on the breakers dock

and when I die, you can stow me down

in her rusty hold, where the breakers sound

then I'll make the haven and the Fiddler's Green

where the grub is good and the bunks are clean

I fished a lifetime, boy and man

and the final trawl scarcely nets a cran
