[G]I wish I was a fisherman
[F]tumblin' on the seas
[Am]far away from dry land
and it's[C] bitter memories
[G]castin'
out my sweet line
with a[F]bandonment and love
[Am]no ceiling bearin' down on me
save the[C] starry sky above
[C]with light in my[G] head
with[F] you in my[Am] arms... [C]
i wish i was the brakeman
on a hurtlin fevered train
crashin head long into the heartland
like a cannon
in the rain
with the feelin of the sleepers
and the burnin of the coal
countin the towns flashin by
and a night
that's full of soul
with light in my head
with you in my arms...
[G]And I know I will be loosened
[F]from the bonds that hold me fast
[Am]and the chains all around me
will[C]
fall away at last
and[G] on that grand and fateful day
I will[F] take thee in my hand
I[Am] will ride on a train
I
will[C] be the fisherman
