Irish Rovers – Winkin Blinkin And Nod chords

Winkin, Blinkin and Nod-Irish Rovers

G                        DWinkin` and Blinkin` and Nod one night
                       CSailed off on a wooden shoe
  G                            DSailed down a river of crystal light
              CInto a sea of dew

G                                       DNow where are you going and what do you wish
                       CThe old moon asked the three
G                                        DWell we`re going out fishing for Herring fish
                           CThat live in the beautiful sea
         G          DAnd some silver and gold have we
        D                     CSaid Winkin` and Blinkin` and Nod

       G                        DThe old moon laughed and sang a song
                               CAs they rocked in their wooden shoe
G                            DAnd the wind that sped them all night long
C                    GRuffled the waves of dew


While the little stars were the Herring fish
That lived in the beautiful sea
Now cast your nets where ever you wish
Never afeared are we
So sang the stars to the fishermen three
Winkin` and Blinkin` and Nod

All night long their nets they threw
To the stars in the twinkling foam
Then down from the skies came the wooden shoe
Bringing the fishermen home

T`was all so pretty a sight it seemed
As if it could not be
And some folks thought t`was a dream they dreamed
Of sailing the beautiful sea
But I shall name you the fishermen three
Winkin` and Blinkin` and Nod

Now Winkin` and Blinkin` are two little eyes
And Nod is a little head
And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies
Is a wee ones trundle bed

So close your eyes while mother sings
Of the beautiful sights that be
And you will see the wonderful things
As you rock in your misty sea
Where the old moon rocked the fishermen three
Winkin` and Blinkin` and Nod
