G F Am C
Verse 1
I Gwish I was a fisherman, F tumbling on the seas
Am Far away from dry land, and it's C bitter memories
G Casting out my sweet line with F abandonment and love
Am No ceiling bearing down on me, save the C starry sky above
Chorus
With light in my G hair, you in my F arms, oh oh Am oh, oh C oh
Verse 2
I Gwish I was the brake man, on a F hurtlin 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
Am Counting towns flashing by, in a C night that's full of soul
Chorus
With light in my G hair, you in my F arms, oh oh Am oh, oh C oh
G oh ooh F oh ooh Am oh, oh C oh
Verse 3 Slightly Softer]
Oh I G know I will be loosened, from F bonds that hold me fast
And 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 hand
I will Am ride the night train, and I will C be the fisherman
Chorus
With light in my G* hair, you in my F* arms, oh oh Am* oh, oh C* oh
G oh ooh F oh ooh Am oh, oh C oh
Acapella
Light in my hair, you in my arms, oh oh oh, oh oh
Light in my hair, you in my arms, oh oh oh, oh oh
