[Verse 1]
C Am The fisherman are pitching pennies G In the sand beside the sea F C The sunrise hits their oilskin boots G And their painted boats and me Am G They seem to know the ocean F Em Dm Like a man knows a woman C G She makes him wait around for half the morning F C For the tide to turn
[Chorus]
F C G C Pull in the ropes, Seine haul fisherman F C F C G Never catches more than he knows he can sell in a day F C G C Pull in the nets, Seine haul fisherman F C F C G C F C G F Day's for work and night's the time to go dancing
[Verse 2]
C Am They're drinking beer and laughing G And squinting at the sun F C Waiting for the gulls to tell them G When the fish will come Am G Their faces brown and weathered F Em Dm From all the nets they've run C G They've learned to wait, they always know F C G C That the tide will turn
[Chorus]
F C G C Pull in the ropes, Seine haul fisherman F C F C G Never catches more than he knows he can sell in a day F C G C Pull in the nets, Seine haul fisherman F C F C G C F C G F Day's for work and night's the time to go dancing

[Verse 3]
C Am Way out on the ocean G F The big ships hunt for whales C The Japanese have caught so many G That now they hunt for snails Am G My fisherman's not greedy F Em Dm He seems content to live C G With the sun and the sand and a net full of fish F C G C When the tide turns
[Chorus]
