Chords for Mike Scott and Steve Wickham Fisherman's Blues Epstein Theatre Liverpool 9th October 2012

[N] _ I'd be like [G] the guy on the rock top when you take it off. _
_ [A] _ _ What did he do?
_ [Gm] _
_ I don't know.
_ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ So here's a [A#] song that myself and myself wrote one day in a [Gm] recording studio in Dublin. _
[A] I had [B] the first two verses scribbled on the [A#] back of an envelope.
_ _ [C] And I [A] pulled it out and I started strumming and he [F#] started putting a fiddle [G] tune to it.
And [F] then the last [F#] verse just kind [E] of came as we were doing the song.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] I wish I was a fisherman
_ _ [F] Home within all the seas
_ _ [Am] _ Far away from dry land
[C] And its bitter _ memories
_ _ _ [G] _ Casting out my sweet light
_ [F] With a bad helmet of _ love
_ _ [A] Low ceiling, bare down on me
Save [C] the starry sky above with light in [G] my head _ _
You in [F] my arms _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] I wish I was a brakeman
_ [F] Hot heart like fever to train
_ [Am] Crashing _ headlong into the heartland
_ [C] _ Like a cannon in the rain
_ [G] With the beating of the sleepers
[F] And the burning of the coal
_ _ _ [Am] _ Counting the towns flashing by
_ In [C] a night that's full of soul and light in my [G] head _ _
_ You in [F] my arms _
_ _ _ [A] Woo! _ _
Hello Steve!
[G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] Oh Lord it will be easy
I'm [F] going to the home refast
_ _ [Am] The chains all hung around me
_ Will [C] fall when it lasts
And on [G] that fine and faithful day
_ [F] I will take me in my _ hands
I [Am] will ride on my train
_ [C] I will be a fisherman
With light in [G] my head _ _ _
And you in [F] my arms _ _
_ _ _ [A] Woo! _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ Light in [G] my head
And _ you in [F] my arms _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _

_ [F] _ _ [Am] _ _ [F] _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ Oh, [C] I'd like to hear you come and [D] break an army of [G] ghosts
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ Yeah _ _
_ [C] And the singing song as it goes _ _
_ Vroom, [Bm] vroom, vroom, vroom
Vroom, [C] _ _ vroom, vroom, _ vroom
_ Vroom, [A] vroom, vroom, vroom
[C]
Light _ _ _ in _ _ _ [Gm] my head
_ And you in [G#] my _ [F] arms _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
Light in [G] my head _ _
And you in [Am] my [F] arms _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

And _ you [A] in my _ _ _ _
[F] arms

Woo!
