{artist: The Waterboys}

[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
[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 With light in my [G] hair, you in my [F] arms, [Am] woo woo ooh
[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] 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 night that's [C] full of soul With light in my [G] hair, you in my [F] arms, [Am] woo woo ooh
[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
[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 With light in my [G] hair, you in my [F] arms, [Am] woo woo ooh
[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
[C] Light in my [G] hair, you in my [F] arms. [Am] [C] [G] [F] [Am]
