The Tragically Hip

Key of D · Chords: I IV V VII

Verse 1

          D
September seventeen
                      G
To a girl I know it's mothers day
                 D
Her son has gone alee
                         A
And that's where he will stay
            D
Wind on the weathervane
                  G
Tearing blue eyes sailor mean
                    D
As Falstaff sings a sorrowful refrain
C                      D
For a boy on Fiddler's Green

Verse 2

                 D
His tiny knotted heart
                      G
Well I guess it never worked too good
                D
The timber tore apart
                         A
And the water gorged the wood
                           D
You can hear her whispered prayer
                      G
For men at masts that always lean
                             D
The same wind that moves her hair
C                               D
Moves her boy through Fiddler's Green

Bridge

    A                 G
Oh, nothing's changed anyway
    A                 G
Oh, nothing's changed anyway
A       D
Anytime today

Verse 3

                  D
He doesn't know a soul
                              G
And there's nowhere that he's really been
                    D
But he won't travel long alone
                    A
No not on Fiddler's Green
                         D
Balloons all filled with rain
                        G
As children's eyes turn sleepy mean
                     D
And Falstaff sings a sorrowful refrain
C                      D
For a boy on Fiddler's Green
