Intro
||:[G]|[G]|[F]|[F]|
|[Am]|[Am]|[C]|[C] :||
[G]I wish I was a fisherman, [F]tumbling on the seas

[G]Casting out my sweet line with [F]abandonment and love
[Am]No ceiling bearing down on me, save the [C]starry sky above

|[Am]|[Am]|[C]|[C] |
I[G] wish I was the brakeman, on a [F] hurtlin' fevered train
Crashing a-[Am]headlong into the heartland, like a [C]cannon in the rain
With the [G]beating of the sleepers, and the [F]burning of the coal
[Am]Counting towns flashing by me, in a [C]night that's full of soul
Chorus
With Light in my [G]head, you in my [F]arms,[G] [Am]woo!|[Am]
||:[G]|[G]|[F]|[F] |
|[Am]|[Am]|[C]|[C] :||
[D]Tomorrow I will be loosened, from [C]bonds that hold me fast
When the [Em]chains all hung around me [G]will fall away at last
And on that [D]fine and fateful day I will [C]take me in my hands
I will [Em]ride the night train, and I will [G]be the fisherman
Chorus
||: Light in my [D]head, you in my [C]arms,
Light in my [D]head, you ___[G] :|| repeat to fade
