<< Back to The Waterboys Song List

Version 1 Version 2 Version 3

            [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      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      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
            G               F
Light in my head, you in my arms
            G               F
Light in my head, you in my arms
