Fishermans Blues

Mike Scott/The Waterboys

Intro: G F Am C x 2

[G]I wish I was a fisherman, [F]tumblin’ on the seas
[Am]Far away from dry land and it’s [C]bitter memories
[G]Castin’ out my sweet line with a[F]bandonment and love
[Am]No ceiling bearin’ down on me save the [C]starry sky above

[C]With light in my [G]head,
With you in my [F]arms, woo woo [Am]ooh…

[G] [F] [Am] [C] [G] [F] [Am] [C]

[G]I wish i was the brakeman, [F]on a hurtlin’ fevered train
[Am]Crashin’ head long into the heartland, like a [C]cannon in the rain
With the [G]feelin’ of the sleepers and the [F]burnin’ of the coal
[Am]Countin’ the towns flashin’ by, and a [C]night that’s full of soul

[C]With light in my [G]head,
With you in my [F]arms, woo woo [Am]ooh…

[G] [F] [Am] [C] [G] [F] [Am] [C]
 
[G]And I know I will be loosened, [F]from the bonds that hold me fast
[Am]And the chains all around me, will [C]fall away at last
And [G]on that grand and fateful day, I will [F]take thee in my hand
I [Am]will ride on a train, I will [C]be the fisherman.

[C]With light in my [G]head,
With you in my [F]arms, woo woo [Am]ooh…

[G] [F] [Am] [C] [G] [F] [Am] [C]

Light in my [G]head, with you in my [F]arms,
Light in my [Am]head, with [C]you…
Light in my [G]head, you in my [F]arms
[G] [F] [Am] [C]
