INTRO: 
 
G5 , F5 , A5 , C5 
 
G5 
I wish I was a fisherman 
F5 
tumblin' on the seas 
A5 
far away from dry land 
         C5 
and it's bitter memories 
 

G5 
castin' out my sweet line 
F5 
with abandonment and love 
A5 
no ceiling bearin' down on me 
         C5 
save the starry sky above 
                 G5 
with light in my head 
               F5      A5   C5 
with you in my arms 
 

  B5 
i wish i was the brakeman 
     F5 
on a hurtlin fevered train 
A5 
crashin head long into the heartland 
       C5 
like a cannon in the rain 
 

         G5 
with the feelin of the sleepers 
        F5 
and the burnin of the coal 
A5 
countin the towns flashin by 
      C5 
and a night that's full of soul 
                 G5 
with light in my head 
               F5      A5   C5 
with you in my arms 
 

      G5 
And I know I will be loosened 
         F5 
from the bonds that hold me fast 
        A5 
and the chains all around me 
     C5 
will fall away at last 

 
    G5 
and on that grand and fateful day 
       F5 
I will take thee in my hand 
       A5 
I will ride on a train 
       C5 
I will be the fisherman 
                 G5 
with light in my head 
               F5      A5   C5 
with you in my arms 
 

                 G5 
with light in my head 
               F5      A5   C5 
with you in my arms 
            G5      F5  A5   C5 
Light in my head 
 

                 G5 
with light in my head 
               F5      A5   C5 
with you in my arms
