John 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 |

It has exactly the same chords as the verses. You may play it with an E minor if you choose, and long may you continue to play music your way, but the inclusion of the E minor is, I am afraid, only your personal interpretation of the song. |
