Waterboys, The - Fisherman's Blues

G      F      Am      C
  G                                  F
I wish I was a fisherman, tumbling on the seas
Am                                            C
Far away from dry land, and it's bitter memories
G                                              F
Casting you my sweet light with abandonment and love
       Am                                                 C
No ceiling staring down on me, save the starry sky above

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

I wish I was the brake man, on a Hartland diesel train
Crashing headlong into the heartland, like a cannon in the rain
With the beating of the sleepers, and the burning of the coal
Counting towns flashing by me, in a night that's full of soul

Chorus

Oh I know I will be loosened, from bonds that hold me tight
And the chains all hung around me will fall away at last
And on that fine and fateful day I will take thee in my arms
I will ride the night train, and I will be the fisherman

Chorus
