[Verse 1]
      Am           Asus2       F        G
Three fishers went sailing out into the west
    Am       Asus2       Em       G
Out into the west as the sun went down
     F              F          C             G
Each thought on the woman that loved him the best,
        Am             Asus2         F          G
and the children stood watching them out of the town
 
 
[Chorus]
    C        C        F          G
For men must work and women must weep
    Am               Asus2     Em     G
For there's little to earn and many to keep,
        F       F      Am G
and the harbour bar be moanin',
        Am      F      G  C
and the harbour bar be moanin'

[Verse 2]
      Am        Asus2        F       G
Three wives sat up in the lighthouse tower
      Am         Asus2        Em       G
They trimmed the lamps as the sun went down,
    F                  F               C             G
and they looked at the squall and they looked at the shower,
    Am             Asus2             F          G
and the night-wrack came rollin' in, ragged and brown
 
 
[Chorus]
    C        C        F          G
For men must work and women must weep
       Am        Asus2          Em        G
Though storms be sudden and the waters be deep,
        F       F      Am G
and the harbour bar be moanin',
        Am      F      G  C
and the Harbour bar be moanin'
 
F C C/B

[Chorus]
    C        C        F          G
For men must work and women must weep
       Am        Asus2          Em        G
Though storms be sudden and the waters be deep,
        F       F      Am G
and the harbour bar be moanin',
        Am      F      G  C
and the harbour bar be moanin'
F C C/B
 
 
[Verse 3]
      Am          Asus2      F       G
Three corpses lay out on the shining sand
       Am      Asus2        Em        G
In the morning gleam as the tide went down,
    F          F           C              G
The women were weepin' and wringin' their hands
    Am              Asus2      F           G
For those who would never come back to the town
 
 
[Chorus]
    C        C        F          G
For men must work and women must weep,
        Am          Asus2     Em        G
and the sooner it's over, the sooner to sleep,
           F          F           Am G
and Good - bye to the bar and its moanin',
           Am         F            G C
and Good - bye to the bar and its moanin'
 
 
[Chorus]
    C        C        F          G
For men must work and women must weep,
        Am          Asus2     Em        G
and the sooner it's over, the sooner to sleep,
           F          F           Am G
and Good - bye to the bar and its moanin',
           Am         F            G C
and Good - bye to the bar and its moanin'.
