Lyrics

[Intro]
E Asus2 E Dsus2
E
               E
September seventeen

[Verse 1]
                      Asus2
For a girl I know it's     Mother's Day
                     E
Her son has gone alee
                         Bsus2
And that's where he will stay 
                   E
Wind on the weathervane
                 Asus2
Tearing blue eyes     sailor mean
                      E
As Falstaff sings a sorrowful refrain
Dsus2
     For a boy in Fiddler's Green
E                 E
 His tiny knotted heart

[Verse 2]
Well,
                Asus2
I guess it never     worked too good
                     E
The timber tore apart
                             Bsus2
And the water gorged the wood
                           E
You can hear her whispered prayer
                     Asus2
For men at masts that     always lean
                                 E
The same wind that moves her hair
Dsus2                                     E
     Moves her boy through Fiddler's Green

[Chorus]
Asus2
Bsus2                   Asus2
Nothing's changed anyway
Bsus2                   Asus2
Nothing's changed anyway
Bsus2
Any time today
E                  E
 He doesn't know a soul

[Verse 3]
                         Asus2
There's nowhere that he's     really been
                        E
But he won't travel long alone
                          Bsus2
No, not in Fiddler's Green
                         E
Balloons all filled with rain
                       Asus2
As children's eyes turn     sleepy mean
                       E
And Falstaff sings a sorrowful refrain
Dsus2
     For a boy in Fiddler's Green
