[Verse 1]
A E
Blue Skies, South Wind,
A D
Fish jumping into your hand
A D E
What a time to be working old Nantucket Sound
A D E
From the Islands into the mainland
[Chorus]
D A
Get me my fiddle, we’ll sing all the old songs
E A A7
You take the high notes, and I’ll sing the low
D A F#m
Good times and hard times they’re worth all the telling,
D E A
Don’t matter to me if you sing’em that well.
[Verse 2]
A E
Worn out, Smelling of bait
A D
You’d come home at the end of the day
A D E
And the sun over West Chop, those warm summer breezes
A D E
Made you think that it would never change
[Chorus]
D A
Get me my fiddle, we’ll sing all the old songs
E A A7
You take the high notes, and I’ll sing the low
D A F#m
Good times and hard times they’re worth all the telling,
D E A
Don’t matter to me if you sing’em that well.
[Verse 3]
A E
I remember day when you worked for your living
A D
You’d come home at the end of the day
A D E
And you busted your back and you never got dinner,
A D E
They don’t talk much of that anymore
[Chorus]
D A
Get me my fiddle, we’ll sing all the old songs
E A A7
You take the high notes, and I’ll sing the low
D A F#m
Good times and hard times they’re worth all the telling,
D E A
Don’t matter to me if you sing’em that well.
[Verse 4]
A E
you sat with the old folks fell asleep to their stories
A D
stayed awake with the hollering winds
A D E
sang your songs till the children were all tucked away warm
A D E
and the night tide comes rolling back in
[Chorus]
D A
Get me my fiddle, we’ll sing all the old songs
E A A7
You take the high notes, and I’ll sing the low
D A F#m
Good times and hard times they’re worth all the telling,
D E A
Don’t matter to me if you sing’em that well.
