Intro:
[G] [F] [Am] [C]
[G] [F] [Am] [C]
Verse 1:
I [G]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
|Chorus:
|With light in my [G] hair, with you in my [F] arms, woo [Am] [C]
Verse 2:
I [G]wish I was the brake man, on a [F] Hartland diesel 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 me, in a [C] night that's full of soul
|Chorus:
|With light in my [G] hair, you in my [F] arms, woo [Am] [C]
Instrumental:
[G] [F] [Am] [C]
[G] [F] [Am] [C]
Verse 3 (Slightly Softer):
Oh I [G] know I will be loosened, from [F] bonds that hold me tight
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, woo who [Am]hoo [C]
|With light in my [G] hair, you in my [F] arms, woo who [Am]hoo [C]
Acapella:
With light in my hair, you in my arms, woo who hoo!...Woo hoo hoo!
With light in my hair, you in my arms, woo who hoo... Woo hoo hoo!
