Waterboys, Fisherman's Blues (1988)
^{Key: :[G] (w: Mike Scott, Steve Wickham)}

INTRO: [G] [F] [Am] [C] : [x2]

VERSE 1:
[G] I wish I was a fisherman, [F] tumbling on the seas
[Am] Far away from dry land, and it's [C] bitter memories
[G] Casting you my sweet light with a-[F]-bandonment and love
[Am] No ceiling staring down on me, save the [C] starry sky above

CHORUS:
With light in my [G] hair, you in my [F] arms, woo hoo [Am] ooh

BREAK: [G] [F] [Am] [C]

VERSE 2:
[G] I wish I was the brake man, on a [F] Hartland diesel train
[Am] Crashing headlong into the heartland, like a [C] cannon in the rain
[G] With the beating of the sleepers, and the [F] burning of the coal
[Am] Counting the towns flashing by, in a [C] night that's full of soul

REPEAT CHORUS:

BREAK: [G] [F] [Am] [C] // [G] [F] [Am] [C]

VERSE 3:
[G] Oh I know I will be loosened, from [F] bonds that hold me tight
[Am] And the chains all hung around me will [C] fall away at last
[G] And on that fine and fateful day I will [F] take thee in my arms
[Am] I will ride the night train, and I will [C] be the fisherman

REPEAT CHORUS:

BREAK: [C] // [G] [F] [Am] [C] // [G] [F] [Am] [C]

OUTRO:
With light in my [G] hair, you in my [F] arms
With light in my [Am] hair, you in my [C] arms
With light in my [G] hair, you in my [F] arms
With light in my [Am] hair, you in my [C] arms
