Fisherman's Blues
The Waterboys
Intro
G
F
Am
C
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
F
abandonment and love
Am
No ceiling staring down on me, save the
C
starry sky above
Chorus
With light in my
G
hair,
F
you in my
Am
arms, woo woo
C
ooh
G
I wish I was the brake man,
F
on a 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 towns flashing by me, in a
C
night that's full of soul
Chorus
G
Oh I know I will be loosened,
F
from 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
Chorus
