Intro:
   G     F     Am     C
   G     F     Am     C

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 bearing down on me, save the starry sky above

Chorus:
                 G               F             Am      G     F     Am     C
With light in my head, you in my arms, woo woo ooh

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

Verse 3:
     G                             F
Oh I know I will be loosened, from bonds that hold me fast
        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 hands
       Am                        C
I will ride on the train, I will be the fisherman

Chorus:
                 G               F             Am      C
With light in my head, you in my arms, woo woo ooh
            G               F
Light in my head, you in my arms
            Am               C
Light in my head, you in my arms
            G               F
Light in my head, you in my arms
