[Intro]
G F Am C
G F Am C
[1st verse]
G F
I wish I was a fisherman, tumbling on the seas
Am C
Far away from dry land, and it's bitter memories
G F
Casting out my sweet line, with abandonment and love
Am C
No ceiling staring down on me, save the starry sky above
[Chorus]
G F Am C
With light in my hair, you in my arms, woo woo ooh
[2nd verse]
G F
I wish I was the brake man, on a hurtlin' fevered train
Am C
Crashing headlong into the heartland, like a cannon in the rain
G F
With the beating of the sleepers, and the burning of the coal
Am C
Counting towns flashing by me, in a night that's full of soul
[Chorus]
G F
Oh I know I will be loosened, from bonds that hold me tight
Am C
And the chains all hung around me will fall away at last
G F
And on that fine and fateful day I will take thee in my arms
Am C
I will ride the night train, and I will be the fisherman
G F
Oh I know I will be loosened, from bonds that hold me tight
Am C
And the chains all hung around me will fall away at last
G F
And on that fine and fateful day I will take thee in my arms
Am C
I will ride the night train, and I will be the fisherman
