_ I'm _ [C] _ about to [Bm] inflict on you as well, but [C] conveniently, [F] _ _ [G] _ [F] well after [F#] I've written that, I've decided
that I've written it, [C] or [E] I've tried to say.
[B] _ _ _ [F#] _
_ And then, I don't know, I'll [C] just, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
so, very old tune. _ _ _
[E] You wrote it?
No I [D] didn't.
I mean, after [F#] _
I called it The Fisherman, I wondered who that was.
I didn't give any body, anything.
It just seemed to [C] _ approximate that.
Am I here?
Am I here? _ _
_ [A] It _ [F] sounds like fishing [C] to me.
_ _ _ [F#] I should, I could have called it fishing, [C] but _ _ [B] I [E] was, you know, I was overcome with, _ _ you know, _ [F#] _ abuse. _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [E] And I [N] decided _ _ 30, 40 years later that that might as well be my grandmother, _ _ Ethel Hollis. _ _ _
_ _ _ An otherwise really _ _ _ _ wonderful woman, very, sort of shimmer around the room, very _ graceful
_ _ one of, _ _ I don't know what you'd call them, _ _ _ gravitas, or one of those words. _ _ _
And a sense of humor that _ _ went right over all our heads.
I didn't get half her stuff until long after she was dead, _ _ _ which is a pretty dry wit. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
When I was little, on a few occasions I went fishing with her, which meant getting in a
rowboat, _ _ going out about three trips ashore, _ _ _ probably no more than six deep.
_ She was after _ _ _ sunfish, _ which are _ still the best eating fish on earth.
And that was her purpose, you know, she didn't fish for fun, she fished for her appetite. _ _
_ _ And it was clear to me that she didn't take any pleasure in it, because the minute her
bobber hit the water and I had the pleasure of _ inserting the hook into a living worm,
_ she started yelling at the fish.
She was the most _ furious _ fisher.
_ _ _ You know, you don't expect to see that. _ _ _ _ _
Screaming and fibbing little fish, who are known for their _ sort of quiet ways. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Not a lot going on here, but she would _ _ _ _ _ _ _ scream at them, call them names, _ _ almost _ _ immediately.
They didn't have to _ _ _ _ misbehave in any way that would possibly be a force to be reckoned with.
_ _ A rude fish, a presumptive fish, _ _ _ a _ fish full of himself. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ But that was the way she reacted to them.
She was, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I don't know, I would move slowly to the end of the boat, to be further away
from the noise. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I have a few questions for her. _ _
