Intro:

[G] [F] [Am] [C]

Verse 1:

[G]I 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 witha[F]bandonment and love
[Am]No ceiling staring down on me, save the[C]starry sky above

Chorus:

With light in my[G]hair,you in my[F]arms
Woo hoo[Am]ooh [C]

Verse 2:

[G]I wish I was the brakeman,on a [F]Hartland diesel train
[Am]Crashing headlong into the heartland, like a[C]cannon in the rain
[G]With the 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

Verse 3:

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

Chorus
