John Gaudie
Fairport Convention
G C G F
John Gaudie was a fine young man in shetland it was told
G C G D
Many's the crowd in Lerwick Town his fiddle and he did hold
G C G
They've danced it up and they've danced it down
F
as he fiddled his tunes around
G C G D
Of all the played in Shetland Isles no better could be found.
Chorus...
C G
When John broke the prison door
D
The jailer had never seen his like before
C G D
He ran back to the Levenwick shore and wrote himself a tune...
