Intro
[F#]         [E]         [Gm#]          [B] X2

[F#]                      [E]
I wish I was a fisherman, tumbling on the seas
[Gm#]                      [B]
Far away from dry land, and it's bitter memories
[F#]                           [E]
Casting you my sweet light with abandonment and love
[Gm#]                                  [B] 
No ceiling staring down on me, save the starry sky above 
 
CHORUS
     [F#]              [E]       [Gm#]         [B] 
With light in my hair, you in my arms, woo woo ooh
 
[F#]                        [E]
I wish I was the brake man, on a Hartland diesel train
[Gm#]                                        [B]   
Crashing headlong into the heartland, like a cannon in the rain
[F#]                                      [E]
With the beating of the sleepers, and the burning of the coal
[Gm#]                               [B]
Counting towns flashing by me, in a night that's full of soul 
 
:CHORUS:

[F#]                         [E]
Oh I know I will be loosened, from bonds that hold me tight
[Gm#]                                      [B]
And the chains all hung around me will fall away at last
[F#]                                    [E]    
And on that fine and fateful day I will take thee in my arms
[Gm#]                                   [B]
I will ride the night train, and I will be the fisherman
