_ And _ [D]
I'd be the first one [A] to give them a loan when [D] their money was gone _ _
_ As I was a plumber and I was a carpenter [A] in my spare time
_ _ _ Out _ on the grand banks, I worked on the big ones [D]
until 89 _ _ _

_ _ As [D] I'm Jack of all trades, [A] but least I can say [D] I'm a fisherman _ _ _ _
I am the fisherman, [G] and just like [A] my father _ [D]
