A wonderful traditional folk song! I've only heard the Dubliners' cover, here it is!
Capo 5th fret.

          C (x32010@1)           F (133211@1)          C (x32010@1)        Am (x02210@1)  As I walked by the dockside one evening so fair,
         C (x32010@1)          F (133211@1)        C (x32010@1)           G (320003@1)   to view the salt waters and take the salt air,
         F (133211@1)                    C (x32010@1)   I heard an old fisherman singing a song,
                  G (320003@1)          C (x32010@1)          G (320003@1)   'Oh take me away boys, me time is not long'.

CHORUS
        C (x32010@1)        G (320003@1)         CWrap (x32010@1)me up in me oilskins and jumpers,
    F (133211@1)         C (x32010@1)           Gno (320003@1)more on the docks I'll be seen.
      F (133211@1)                         CJust (x32010@1)tell me old shipmates, I'm taking a trip, mates,
     G (320003@1)                      G7 (320001@1)       Cand (x32010@1)I'll see you some day on Fiddler's Green.

        C (x32010@1)        F (133211@1)        C (x32010@1)             Am (x02210@1)  Now Fiddler's Green is a place I've heard tell,
               C (x32010@1)       F (133211@1)        C (x32010@1)         G (320003@1)  where the fishermen go if they don't go to hell.
                F (133211@1)                          C (x32010@1)   Where the skies are all clear and the dolphins do play,
                             G (320003@1)            C (x32010@1)  G (320003@1)   and the cold coast of Greenland is far, far away.
  
CHORUS
                C (x32010@1)          F (133211@1)               C (x32010@1)    Am (x02210@1)  Where the skies are all clear and there's never a gale,
             C (x32010@1)          F (133211@1)            C (x32010@1)            G (320003@1)   and the fish jump on board with one swish of their tail.
               F (133211@1)                         C (x32010@1)   Where you lie at your leisure, there's no work to do,
                         G (320003@1)        C (x32010@1)          G (320003@1)   and the skipper's below making tea for the crew.
  
CHORUS
             C (x32010@1)         F (133211@1)            C (x32010@1)           Am (x02210@1)   When you get back on docks and the long trip is through,
           C (x32010@1)                 F (133211@1)               C (x32010@1)            G (320003@1)   there's pubs and there's clubs and there's lassies there, too.
               F (133211@1)                           C (x32010@1)   Where the girls are all pretty and the beer it is free,
                            G (320003@1)         C (x32010@1)        G (320003@1)   and there's bottles of rum growing from every tree.
  
CHORUS
           C (x32010@1)          F (133211@1)        C (x32010@1)       Am (x02210@1)    Now I don't want a harp nor a halo, not me,
         C (x32010@1)          F (133211@1)        C (x32010@1)         G (320003@1)   just give me a breeze on a good rolling sea.
         F (133211@1)                        C (x32010@1)   I'll play me old squeezebox as we sail along,
                        G (320003@1)          C (x32010@1)       G (320003@1)   with the wind in the rigging to sing me a song.
