Em                              D                Em
Now he's the one who sings while the lubbers scrub the floor
   C      G      D
Oh my, Oh my, Oh my
    Em                               D               Em
And he's the one who laughs when the storm begins to roar
   C      G      D
Oh my, Oh my, Oh my
         Em                           Bm
When his fiddle starts to play better hide away
     C       D     Em
If you don't wanna die
   Em                         D             Em
He is the one to blame when a mate goes overboard
   Am     Bm     Em
Oh my, Oh my, Oh my

Chorus:
         C                 G                 Am             Em
He's the fiddler, he's the fiddler, he's the fiddler on the deck
            C            Em               D               Em
Better take care and be aware he's like a cutlass in your back
         C                 G                 Am             Em
He's the fiddler, he's the fiddler, he's the fiddler on the deck
            C              Em                D             Em
Better take care he's everywhere he's like a needle in yer neck
         C              D      
He's the fiddler on his wreck
                       Em
I'm the fiddler on the deck



     Em                            D                  Em
He's dancing in the tops, when the ship goes down the drain 
   C      G      D
Oh my, Oh my, Oh my
    Em                           D           Em
And he's the reason why, when me mateys go insane
   C      G      D
Oh my, Oh my, Oh my
        Em                          Bm
When he plays a fiddle tune, better catch him soon
   C        D     Em
Or wave the world goodbye
   Em                           D                Em
He is the one to blame when the devil calls your name
   Am     Bm     Em
Oh my, Oh my, Oh my


         C                 G                 Am             Em
He's the fiddler, he's the fiddler, he's the fiddler on the deck
            C            Em               D               Em
Better take care and be aware he's like a cutlass in your back
         C                 G                 Am             Em
He's the fiddler, he's the fiddler, he's the fiddler on the deck
            C              Em                D             Em
Better take care he's everywhere he's like a needle in yer neck
         C              D      
He's the fiddler on his wreck
                       Em
I'm the fiddler on the deck


         C                 G                 Am             Em
He's the fiddler, he's the fiddler, he's the fiddler on the deck
            C            Em               D               Em
Better take care and be aware he's like a cutlass in your back
         C                 G                 Am             Em
He's the fiddler, he's the fiddler, he's the fiddler on the deck
            C              Em                D             Em
Better take care he's everywhere he's like a needle in yer neck
         C              D      
He's the fiddler on his wreck
         C                 G                 Am             Em
He's the fiddler, he's the fiddler, he's the fiddler on the deck
            C            Em               D               Em
Better take care and be aware he's like a cutlass in your back
         C                 G                 Am             Em
He's the fiddler, he's the fiddler, he's the fiddler on the deck
            C              Em                D             Em
Better take care he's everywhere he's like a needle in yer neck
         C              D      
He's the fiddler on his wreck
                       Em
I'm the fiddler on the deck
