E5 
September seventeen 
                      A5 
To a girl I know it's mothers day 
                 E5 
Her son has gone alee 
                         B5 
And that's where he will stay 
                   E5 
Wind on the weathervane 
                  A5 
Tearing blue eyes sailor mean 
                    E5 
As Falstaff sings a sorrowful refrain 
D5                      E5 
For a boy on Fiddler's Green 
 

                 E5 
His tiny knotted heart 
                      A5 
Well I guess it never worked too good  
                 E5 
The timber tore apart 
                         B5 
And the water gorged the wood 
                           E5 
You can hear her whispered prayer 
                       A5 
For men at masts that always lean 
                             E5 
The same wind that moves her hair 
D5                               E5 
Moves her boy through Fiddler's Green 
 

    B5                    A5 
Oh, nothing's changed anyway 
    B5                    A5 
Oh, nothing's changed anyway 
    B5       E5 
Anytime today 
 

                  E5 
He doesn't know a soul  
                              A5 
And there's nowhere that he's really been 
                     E5 
But he won't travel long alone 
                    B5 
No not on Fiddler's Green 
                         E5 
Balloons all filled with rain 
                        A5 
As children's eyes turn sleepy mean 
                        E5 
And Falstaff sings a sorrowful refrain 
D5                      E5 
For a boy on Fiddler's Green.
