Gordon Bok – Candlelight Fisherman (Guitar)

       D                   G
Now me Dad was a fisherman bold

       C                  D
And he lived till he grew old

            C                 G           Em
'Cause he'd open the pane and pop out the flame

   D                    G      D
To see how the winds do blow"

       G      D       G
Now me Dad he says to me

           C                   D
"If you're ever going to go to sea

       C                 G           Em
Do you open the pane and pop out the flame

   D                    G      D  G  D
To see how the winds do blow"

         G         D          G
When the wind come out of the West

             C                 D
She going to blow up rough, at best

     C                 G           Em
So I open the pane and pop out the flame

   D                    G      D
To see how the winds do blow

         G          D       G
When the cold North wind do blow

      C             D
Well, we lie snug below

         C                 G           Em
'Cause I open the pane and pop out the flame

   D                    G      D  G  D
To see how the winds do blow

         G         D          G
When the wind come out of the East

         C               D
It isn't fit for man nor beast

     C                 G           Em
So I open the pane and pop out the flame

   D                    G      D  G  D
To see how the winds do blow

         G          D       G
When the South wind soft do blow

            C                    D
Well, there ain't enough wind to go

     C                 G           Em
So I open the pane and pop out the flame

   D                    G      D
To see how the winds do blow

        G        D       G
When me wife she says to me

       C                   D
"We'll starve if you don't go"

        C                 G           Em
Well, I open the pane and pop out the flame

   D                    G      D
To see how the winds do blow

      G          D         G
So if you'd be a fisherman bold

          C                  D
And you'd live till you grow old

       C                 G           Em
Do you open the pane and pop out the flame

   D                    G      D    G
To see how the winds do blow
