Chords

[Verse 1]
D                         G
Crab pots piled up on the pier

D                      A
Boats sitting silently here

G                      D            G
Impatiently waiting for setting and baiting

D              A             D
Will they even head out this year
[Verse 2]
D                                    G
In a musty old boardroom they gather around

D                                         A
The greedy fish merchants offer 2 bucks a pound

G                                D           G
It's mean and it’s cruel, I burn more that in fuel

    D          A          D
Just making my way to the grounds
[Chorus]
G                    D
What can a fisherman be

G                           A
If a fisherman’s not out at sea

G                                 D           G
I can’t stay on shore ‘cause I’ve got bills galore

      D          A     D
And a wife and a young family
[Verse 3]
D                          G
The prices are rising each year

D                             A
But we don’t see the benefits here

G                          D          G
Our profits are lost, eaten up by the cost

D                 A            D
We're in for some hard times I fear
[Chorus]
G                    D
What can a fisherman be

G                           A
If a fisherman’s not out at sea

G                                 D           G
I can’t stay on shore ‘cause I’ve got bills galore

     D           A     D
And a wife and a young family
