Fisherman's Blues (FUO Book 2) [C] - The Waterboys
[Intro]
[G] [F] [Am] [C] x2
[Verse 1]
I [G] wish I was a fisherman, [F] tumbling on the seas
[Am] Far away from dry land, and its [C] bitter memories
[G] Casting out my sweet line with a-[F]-bandonment and love
[Am] No ceiling bearing down on me, save the [C] starry sky above
[Chorus]
With light in my [G] head, you in my [F] arms, [Am] woo
[G] [F] [Am] [C]
[Verse 2]
I [G] wish I was the brakeman, on a [F] hurtling fevered train
Crashing [Am] headlong into the heartland, like a [C] cannon in the rain
With the [G] beating of the sleepers, and the [F] burning of the coal
Count-[Am]-ing the towns flashing by, in a [C] night that's full of soul
[Chorus]
With light in my [G] head, you in my [F] arms, [Am] woo
[G] [F] [Am] [C]
[Verse 3 - single strums]
I know [G*] I will be loosened, from the [F*] bonds that hold me fast
that the [Am*] chains all hung around me [C*] will fall away at last
And on that [G*] fine and fateful day I will [F*] take thee in my hands
I will [Am*] ride on the train, and I will [C*] be the fisherman
[Chorus - resume strum pattern]
With light in my [G] head, you in my [F] arms, [Am] woo
[G] [F] [Am] [C]
[Verse 4]
I [G] wish I was a fisherman, [F] tumbling on the seas
[Am] Far away from dry land, and its [C] bitter memories
[G] Casting you my sweet line with a-[F]-bandonment and love
[Am] No ceiling bearing down on me, save the [C] starry sky above
[Instrumental]
[G] [F] [Am] [C]
[Outro]
With light in my [G] head, you in my [F] arms. x2

The [Am] winds blew up, her bow dipped down
Oh [E7] blow, me bully boys, [Am] blow huh
