_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ He sits on the wharf in the soft summer sun [G] And he wonders if the boys [F] got the trap work [C] all done
Too old to fish, too young not to care [G] He takes a deep breath [F] in the salt [G] water air
[F] And memories flood [G] back, _ _
[C] yesterday's fisherman _ He'd _ be at his oars with the crack of dawn
[G] The splash and the [F] gunwales has been his [C] life song
He worked like a dog to raise up his sons [G] Now he would [F] wait for them to [G] come home
[F] But there's not much to [G] do for _ [C] yesterday's fisherman
_ So _ [Am]
row with the swell [Em] boys and do it with [F] pride Your life is the sea with its wind and its tide
[Am] And when you grow [Em] old and your fishing is done [F] Sit back, be [G] proud and wait for your sons
To [F] come home [G] _ from [C] their fishing
_ The _ _ gulls in the harbor let out their harsh cry [G] And the sun slowly [F] climbed in a never [C] blue sky
The sounds and the sights haven't changed much with time His [G] body is old, young as his mind
[F] And the memories are clear, [G] _
_ [C] yesterday's fisherman _ _ _
