Fishermans Blues                  

Intro: G F Am C

G                                     F
I wish I was a fisherman, tumbling on the seas
Am                                              C
Far away from dry land, and it's bitter memories
G                                                 F
Casting you my sweet light with abandonment and love
Am                                                            C
No ceiling staring down on me, save the starry sky above


Chorus:
                         G                      F                      Em
With light in my hair, you in my arms, woo woo woo


G                                                 F
I wish I was the brake man, on a Hartland diesel train
Am                                                                C
Crashing headlong into the heartland, like a cannon in the rain
G                                                                F
With the beating of the sleepers, and the burning of the coal
Am                                                    C
Counting towns flashing by me, in a night that's full of soul

G                                             F
Oh I know I will be loosened, from bonds that hold me fast
Am                                                         C
And the chains all hung around me will fall away at last
G                                                       F
And on that fine and fateful day I will take thee in my arms
Am                                                C
I will ride the night train, and I will be the fisherman
