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.
