Genre: folk, rock, acoustic


[Verse 1]
Em
Went the winter night comes calling
C
And the wind is on the sea
D
For the fishermen of Cornwall
Em
It’s a dangerous place to be
Em
And the mist has pulled the curtain
C
On the welcome harbour light
D
On a granite cliff
D Em
On a Cornish winter night.

[Chorus]
G
Well the fishing it ain’t easy
D
So many lives are lost
G
And the families of Newlyn
D
Know what the lives have cost
Em
And the skeletons of trawlers
C
Lie cut up on the shore
D
There’s many good men of Newlyn
D Em
Won’t go fishing anymore

[Verse 2]
Em
It’s the cutbacks and the knockbacks
C
That have been so hard to bare
D
While the government inspectors
D Em
Wave their fingers in the air
Em
And the red tape regulations
C
That limit days at sea
D Em
While the fishing fleet lie rotting at the quay

[Chorus]
G
Well the fishing it ain’t easy
D
So many lives are lost
G
And the families of Newlyn
D
Know what the lives have cost
Em
And the skeletons of trawlers
C
Lie cut up on the shore
D
There are many good men of Newlyn
D Em
Won’t go fishing anymore
