Intro:
[G] [F] [Am] [C]
[G] [F] [Am] [C]

Verse 1:
I [G] wish I was a fisherman, [F] tumbling on the seas
[Am] Far away from dry land, and it's [C] bitter memories
[G] Casting you my sweet light, with [F] abandonment and love 
[Am] No ceiling staring down on me, save the [C] starry sky above

|Chorus:
|With light in my [G] hair, with you in my [F] arms, [Am] woo [C]

Verse 2:
I [G] wish I was the brake man, on a [F] hurtlin' fevered train
Crashing [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] hair, you in my [F] arms, [Am] woo [C]

Verse 3: {blue}(Slightly Softer){/blue}
Oh I [G] know I will be loosened, from [F] bonds that hold me tight 
And the [Am] chains all hung around me, [C] will fall away at last 
And on that [G] fine and fateful day, I will [F] take thee in my hand 
I will [Am] ride the night train, and I will [C] be the fisherman

|Chorus:
|With light in my [G] hair, you in my [F] arms, light in my [Am] hair you hoo [C] hooo 
|With light in my [G] hair, you in my [F] arms, light in my [Am] hair you hoo [C] hooo 
|With light in my [G] hair, you in my [F] arms, whoo hoo [Am] hoo[C] Hooooo

Outro:
With light in my [G] hair, you in my [F] arms, whoo hoo hoo [Am] hoo [C*] Hooooo
