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

INTRO: [G#] [F#] [A#m] [C#] : [x2]

VERSE 1:
[G#] I wish I was a fisherman, [F#] tumbling on the seas
[A#m] Far away from dry land, and it's [C#] bitter memories
[G#] Casting you my sweet light with a-[F#]-bandonment and love
[A#m] 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 [A#m] ooh

BREAK: [G#] [F#] [A#m] [C#]

VERSE 2:
[G#] I wish I was the brake man, on a [F#] Hartland diesel train
[A#m] 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
[A#m] Counting the towns flashing by, in a [C#] night that's full of soul

REPEAT CHORUS:

BREAK: [G#] [F#] [A#m] [C#] // [G#] [F#] [A#m] [C#]

VERSE 3:
[G#] Oh I know I will be loosened, from [F#] bonds that hold me tight
[A#m] 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
[A#m] I will ride the night train, and I will [C#] be the fisherman

REPEAT CHORUS:

BREAK: [C#] // [G#] [F#] [A#m] [C#] // [G#] [F#] [A#m] [C#]

OUTRO:
With light in my [G#] hair, you in my [F#] arms
With light in my [A#m] hair, you in my [C#] arms
With light in my [G#] hair, you in my [F#] arms
With light in my [A#m] hair, you in my [C#] arms
