Verse 1

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
| G | F | Am | C |
| G | F | Am | C |

Verse 2

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             Am   C
With light in my hair, you in my arms, woo woo ooh
| G | F | Am | C |
| G | F | Am | C |

Verse 3

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

Chorus

                 G               F             Am   C
With light in my hair, you in my arms, woo woo ooh
| G | F | Am | C |
| G | F | Am | C |

Verse 4

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

Chorus

                 G               F             Am   C
With light in my hair, you in my arms, woo woo ooh
| G | F | Am | C |
