Now he's the one who sings while the lubbers scrub the floor

When his fiddle starts to play better hide away

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
