Fiddler's Green

E
September seventeen
                      A
To a girl I know it's mothers day
                 E
Her son has gone alee
                         B
And that's where he will stay
                   E
Wind on the weathervane
                  A
Tearing blue eyes sailor mean
                    E
As Falstaff sings a sorrowful refrain
D                      E
For a boy on Fiddler's Green

                 E
His tiny knotted heart
                      A
Well I guess it never worked too good
                 E
The timber tore apart
                         B
And the water gorged the wood
                           E
You can hear her whispered prayer
                       A
For men at masts that always lean
                             E
The same wind that moves her hair
D                               E
Moves her boy through Fiddler's Green

    B                    A
Oh, nothing's changed anyway
    B                    A
Oh, nothing's changed anyway
    B       E
Anytime today

                  E
He doesn't know a soul
                              A
And there's nowhere that he's really been
                     E
But he won't travel long alone
                    B
No not on Fiddler's Green
                         E
Balloons all filled with rain
                        A
As children's eyes turn sleepy mean
                        E
And Falstaff sings a sorrowful refrain
D                      E
For a boy on Fiddler's Green.
