[N]
Like his daddy [B] before him, [E] his daddy before, he was born to fish from [A] the sea.
Up before dawn, [E] in the cold morning fog, [F#] always knowing what he wanted [B] to be.
He [E] left school when he was eleven, to fish you don't need no [A] degree.
At twenty, he married [E] his sweetheart, and built a house [B] overlooking [E] the bay.
And he never [A] asked no one for [E] nothing, all [A] he wanted God put in [E] his sea.
[A] Up before dawn, kiss [E] his woman, [A] he's gone, [E] out living [B] a [E] fisherman's dream.
[B] [E]
Dreams [B] of a way, [E] yes dreams of a way, of shining or fading [A] away.
Big factory ships, [E] they killed all the fish, somehow [F#] I don't think God meant it [B] that way.
[E] He sits [B] staring out from his [E] window, [Em] oh he [E] tries but he don't [A] understand,
why people who live in [E] big mansions, can't take his living [B] and not [E] give a damn.
And he never [A] asked no one [E] for nothing, all [A] he wanted God put in [E] his sea.
[A] Up before dawn, [E] kiss his woman, [A] he's gone, [E] out living [B] a [E] fisherman's dream.
He looks at [B] his wife, and [E] walks out in the night, to where his boat rots away in [A] the sand.
And the tears from his cheek, [E] hit the government check,
[F#] he angrily holds in [B] his hand.
They [E] find him [B] early [E] next morning, lying next to the waters [A] he loved.
You don't put that man [E] in the factory, or kill the dreams [B] of a [E] fisherman's son.
And he never [A] asked no one [E] for nothing, all he [A] wanted God put in [E] his sea.
