[Intro] | Cm7 F7 | Abadd9 G7 | [Verse 1]
Cm7                          F7
  There's a lonely man, he's over there standing

          Abadd9
where the beavers built their dam

             G7
and he's searching for salmon

        Cm7                           F7
Heard a rumor about a fish that swims up the stream

    Abadd9                            G7
And catching something big has always been his dream

Cm7                Cm7/Bb F7/A Ab6
  He learned about it in a magazine

         G7                               Bb6
Now he's up to date with all the types of fish

          G7/B       C
and knows their history
[Interlude] | (C) Eb6 | D7 G7 | | C Eb6 | D7 G7 Bb6 G7/B | [Chorus 1]
C7            Eb
  Well he's a fisherman

           D7                       G      Gaug G
He’s gonna fish all night, he don't give a damn

       C7                   Eb
Spends most of his dough on fishing boats

                D7                G        Bb6 G7/B
‘Cause he knows it'll be a good investment baby

C7           Eb
Yeah, he's a fisherman

           D7                     G7
He's gonna fish until a brand new day begins

    C7                            Eb
And when he feels a nibble coming from his line

           F7            Ab        Bb      Cm7
You better bet your rear end he'll reel it in
[Interlude] | (Cm7) F7 | Abadd9 G7 | | Cm7 F7 | Abadd9 Eb Gm7 | [Verse 2]
Cm7                               F7
  You find him whittling logs for fishing rods daily

          Abadd9                        G7
Makes and uses them as tools to capture something scaly

    Cm7                   F7
And everything he owns is fishing themed

       Abadd9                          G7
Got an extensive collection of fishing figurines

Cm7              Cm7/Bb     F7/A               Ab6
  He’s caught every type of fish that's in the sea

     G7                   Bb6     G7/B        C
Came home one time with a freshly caught submarine
[Interlude] | (C) Eb6 | D7 G7 | | C Eb6 | D7 G7 Bb6 G7/B | [Chorus 2]
C7            Eb6
  Well he's a fisherman

           D7                       G      Gaug G
He’s gonna fish all night, he don't give a damn

       C7                   Eb
Spends most of his dough on fishing boats

                D7                G        Bb6 G7/B
‘Cause he knows it'll be a good investment baby

C7           Eb
Yeah, he's a fisherman

             D7                            G7
He's posting all his fishing pictures onto Instagram

    C7                            Eb
And when he feels a nibble coming from his line

           F7            Ab        Bb      Cm7
You better bet your rear end he'll reel it in
[Interlude] | (Cm7) F7 | Abadd9 G7 | | Cm7 F7 | Abadd9 Eb Gm7 | [Bridge]
Ab                                         Fm        Fmadd9
  But the man, in miraculous fashion had a change of heart

Ab                                          Fm        Fmadd9
  He lost the attraction for catching every fish he saw

Ab                                          Fm      Fmadd9
  Then and there he decided that he'd never fish anymore

       Emaj7                             Eb
‘Cause everything he caught used to swim free before
[Interlude] | C7 F7 | C7 F7 | | Ab G7 | Ab G7 | | Ab Eb Gm7 | [Verse 3]
Cm7                         F7
  The lonely man he started wondering

         Abadd9                                G7
Just how many fish he's killed since he's been hunting them

    Cm7                F7
And everyday it's the same recurring thought

            Abadd9                             G7
What if his family and friends were the fishes getting caught

Cm7  Cm7/Bb      F7/A   Ab6
  Dissected on a countertop

       G7                    Bb6        G7/B  C
Chewed up and spit out at an overpriced restaurant
[Outro] | (C) Eb6 | D7 G7 | | C Eb6 | D7 Db | C |
