[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      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      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

            Am               C
Light in my head, you in my arms

            G               F
Light in my head, you in my arms
