Verse
A#m Db
From Mortlake to Mosman for thirty-five years
A#m Fm Gb
In a twenty-six-footer I’ve sailed,
Ebm Gb
It paid for me grub and a couple of beers
Db F
But not now since the fishing has failed.
A#m Db
There used to be blackfish; there used to be bream;
A#m Fm Gb
And there used to be jewies to tame.
Ebm Gb
But now there’s old beer cans and polythene bags
Db F
And things too repulsive to name.
[Chorus]
A#
But the sun is still shining and the sky is still blue.
Eb A#
You can still taste the salt on the spray.
F A# Eb
Me lines are all baited and me net’s over too,
A# F A#
But there’s not many fish in the harbour today.
[Verse 2]
A#m Db
Once the catches you’d get nearly made your boat sink
Bm Fm Gb
And the three of you filling the barge
Ebm Gb
But now all you get is a terrible stink,
Db F
With typhoid at no extra charge.
A#m Db
What you need is a craft that can sail the high seas
A#m Fm Gb
Where the herring and kingfishes play.
Ebm Gb
All you bring up in the harbour is dead dogs and cats,
Db F
Not to mention that Mrs Macrae.
[Chorus]
A#
But the sun is still shining and the sky is still blue.
Eb A#
You can still taste the salt on the spray.
F A# Eb
Me lines are all baited and me net’s over too,
A# F A#
But there’s not many fish in the harbour today.
[Verse 3]
A#m Db
So go for a sail with your Sally and Sue.
A#m Fm Gb
And take Roger and Rufus as well.
Ebm Gb
Remember to chuck your muck over the side,
Db F
Then complain of the hideous smell.
A#m Db
Once a fisherman was known for not getting upset
A#m Fm Gb
When he sailed through the wind and the rain,
Ebm Gb
But a man can’t but think when he’s sailing through this:
Db F
What a pity you can’t pull the chain.
[Chorus]
A#
But the sun is still shining and the sky is still blue.
Eb A#
You can still taste the salt on the spray.
F A# Eb
Me lines are all baited and me net’s over too,
A# F A#
But there’s not many fish in the harbour today.
