FISHERMAN?S BLUES
By The Waterboys

   G		       F
I wish I was a fisherman tumbling on the seas
Am			       C
    Far away from dry land and its bitter memories
G			    F
Casting out my sweet life with abandonment and love
Am				      C
    No ceiling bearing down on me save the starry sky above
	        G
With light in my head
	     F     G   Am     Am
And you in my arms.     Whoo

  G			    F
I wish I was the brakeman on a hurtling fevered train
         Am                                   C
Crashing a-headlong into the heartland like a canon in the rain
	G			    F
With the beating of the sleepers and the burning of the coal
Am				   C
Counting the towns flashing by and the night that?s full of soul
		  G
With light in my head
	     F     G   Am    Am
And you in my arms.     Whoo

Tomorrow I will be loosened from the bonds that hold me fast
         Am                          C
When the chains hung all around me   will fall away at last
	    G                      F
And on that  fine and fateful day I take me in my hands
         Am                        C
I will   ride on the train, I will be the fisherman
	        G
With light in my head
          F
You in my arms
      G      Am   Am  C  C
Whoo- ooo - ooh
