Verse 1 

D
Codfish Dan from Newfoundland  
   A                        D
He dreamt that he had three wishes

So he took mars and all the stars 
    A                    D
and turned them into big fishes

He said the sky was a much to dry
       A           D
And he made a wavy motion 

And the moon like a boat began to float 
A               D
Upon his starry ocean


Chorus

D                       G
And you might think its goofy 
        A                    D
but the man on the moon is a Newfie 
                       G        A                 D
And he's sailing on to glory  ,away in the golden dory
              G        A                 D
Sailing on to glory  ,away in the golden dory


Verse 2

D 
One night he stayed to the milky way 
   A              D
To cast hi nets upon it 

He spied the tail of a great big whale
       A                 D
And he harpooned Haileys Comet

He never had a pot for the fish that caught
      A                  D
So he had to use the big dipper

And the sun b'y joe was a very good stove
    A                     D
For cooking up smelts and kippers


Chorus

D                       G
And you might think its goofy 
        A                    D
But the man on the moon is a Newfie 
                       G      A                 D
And he's sailing on to glory away on the golden dory
                   G      A                 D
He's sailing on to glory away in the golden dory


Verse 3

D
Now the northern lights they seem so bright
     A                D
Like nothing could be grander

But there just waves that the moon boat made 
         A               D
From the Newfoundland commander

And don't you sigh and say oh my 
     A            D
What gross exaggeration 

But he'll tell you the dream was true 
     A            D
when Codfish Dan awakens


Chorus

D                       G
And you might think its goofy 
        A                    D
But the man on the moon is a Newfie 
                       G      A                 D
And he's sailing on to glory away in the golden dory
                  G      A                 D
He's sailing onto glory away in the golden dory
                        G
