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 you my sweet light with abandonment and love
Am C
no ceiling staring down on me , save the starry sky above

chorus
– – – – – – –
G F Am
with light in my hair , you in my arms . . . . . . woo

verse 2
– – – – – – – –
G F
i wish i was the brake man , on a hartland diesel 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
with light in my hair , you in my arms . . . . . . woo

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
with light in my hair , you in my arms . . . . . . woo
