I ^Gwish I was a fisherman, ^Ftumbling on the seas ^AmFar away from dry land, and it's ^Cbitter memories ^GCasting you my sweet light with ^Fabandonment and love ^AmNo ceiling staring down on me, save the s^Ctarry sky above

Chorus -------

With light in my ^Ghair, you in my ^Farms...... ^Amwoo

Verse 2 --------

I ^Gwish I was the brake man, on a ^FHartland diesel train ^AmCrashing headlong into the heartland, like a ^Ccannon in the rain With the ^Gbeating of the sleepers, and the ^Fburning of the coal ^AmCounting towns flashing by me, in a ^Cnight that's full of soul

Chorus -------

With light in my ^Ghair, you in my ^Farms...... ^Amwoo

Verse 3 --------

Oh I ^Gknow I will be loosened, from ^Fbonds that hold me tight And the ^Amchains all hung around me will ^Cfall away at last And ^Gon that fine and fateful day I will ^Ftake thee in my arms I will ^Amride the night train, and I will be the ^Cfisherman

Chorus -------

With light in my ^Ghair, you in my ^Farms...... ^Amwoo
