[G] [F] I [Dm]
[Am] [C]
[G] wish I was a fisherman, [F] comblin' on the seas,
[Am] far away from dry land [C] and its bitter
memories,
[G] casting out my sweet life [F] with a band of mother love,
[Am] no ceiling bearin' down
on me, [C] safe with a starry sky above with [G] light in my head, [F] you in my arms.
[Am] I [G]
[F] [Am]
[C] wish [G] I was the brakeman [F] on a heart-like fevered train, [Am] crashin' headlong into the
[C] heartland like a cannon in the rain, [G] with the beating of the sleepers [F] and the burnin'
of the coal, [Am] countin' the towns slashin' by [C] in a night that's full of soul with [G] light
in my head, and [F] you in my arms.

[G] Well I know I will be [F] loosened from the bones that hold me fast, [Am] and the chains hung around
me [C] will fall away at last, [G] and on that fine fateful day [F] I will take me in my hands, [Am] I
will ride on the train, [C] I will be the fisherman with [G] light in my head, and [F] you in my arms.
