Fisherman’s Blues Chords

[Intro]
 
G     F     Am     C
G     F     Am     C
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
  G                       
I wish I was a fisherman, 
F
tumbling on the seas
Am                      
Far away from dry land, 
         C
and it's bitter memories
G                          
Casting out my sweet line, 
     F
with abandonment and love
Am                             
No ceiling bearing down on me, 
         C
save the starry sky above
 
 
[Chorus]
                 G     
With light in my head, 
          F             Am      C
you in my arms, woo woo ooh
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
  G                         
I wish I was the brake man, 
     F
on a hurtlin' fevered train
         Am                           
Crashing headlong into the heartland, 
       C
like a cannon in the rain
         G                        
With the beating of the sleepers, 
        F
and the burning of the coal
Am                             
Counting towns flashing by me, 
     C
in a night that's full of soul
 
 
[Chorus]
                 G     
With light in my head, 
          F             Am      C
you in my arms, woo woo ooh
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
     G                        
Oh I know I will be loosened, 
     F
from bonds that hold me fast
        Am                         
And the chains all hung around me, 
     C
will fall away at last
            G                     
And on that fine and fateful day, 
       F
I will take thee in my hands
       Am                 
I will ride on the train, 
       C
I will be the fisherman
 
 
[Chorus]
                 G               F             Am  C
With light in my head, you in my arms, woo woo ooh
            G               F
Light in my head, you in my arms
            G               F
Light in my head, you in my arms
            G               F
Light in my head, you in my arms
