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, Am woo C

Verse 2
I G wish 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 me, in a C night that's full of soul

Chorus
With light in my G hair, you in my F arms, Am woo C

Instrumental

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, light in my Am hair you hoo C hooo
With light in my G hair, you in my F arms, light in my Am hair you hoo C hooo
With light in my G hair, you in my F arms, whoo hoo Am hooC Hooooo

Outro
With light in my G hair, you in my F arms, whoo hoo hoo Am hoo C* Hooooo
