Tragically Hip — Fiddler’s Green

Verse 1: 
               D  
September seventeen 
                      G  
To a girl I know it's mothers day 
                 D  
Her son has gone alee 
                         A  
And that's where he will stay 
                   D  
Wind on the weathervane 
                  G  
Tearing blue eyes sailor mean 
                    D  
As Falstaff sings a sorrowful refrain 
 C                      D  
For a boy on Fiddler's Green 

Verse 2: 
                 D  
His tiny knotted heart 
                      G  
Well I guess it never worked too good  
                 D  
The timber tore apart 
                         A  
And the water gorged the wood 
                           D  
You can hear her whispered prayer 
                       G  
For men at masts that always lean 
                             D  
The same wind that moves her hair 
 C                               D  
Moves her boy through Fiddler's Green 
 
Bridge:     
    A                    G  
Oh, nothing's changed anyway 
    A                    G  
Oh, nothing's changed anyway 
    A       D  
Anytime today 
 
Verse 3: 
                  D  
He doesn't know a soul  
                              G  
And there's nowhere that he's really been 
                     D  
But he won't travel long alone 
                    A  
No not on Fiddler's Green 
                         D  
Balloons all filled with rain 
                        G  
As children's eyes turn sleepy mean 
                        D  
And Falstaff sings a sorrowful refrain 
 C                      D  
For a boy on Fiddler's Green
