Capo 4th Fret G D G

use a G with three fingers not with four

G D G

I'm a fisherman's son got fisherman's ways

G D G

I fished with my father in my young days

G F C Am

I learned the fine craft of the fisherman's trade

G D G G D G

Just to pass to my son so he'll do the same

G D G

The sea is my lifeline the shore is my home

G D G

I've been to your cities I didn't stay long

G F C Am

I stared at the bright lights the dark city ways

G D G

I'll tell you that's not for me, no I didn't stay

Chorus: F C C/G G D G

Singing La La La La La La, La La La La La La La

G D G

Some days are rough so we roll with the waves

G D G

This living is tough, slack is the pay

G F C Am

But we leave with the sunrise, we wake at the dawn

G D G

Singing the fisherman's song

Chorus

G D G

I'm a fisherman's son got fisherman's blood

G D G

Just hauling the lobster, jigging the cod

G F C Am

And if you don't like me then leave me alone

G D G

And I'll go on singing my fisherman's song

Chorus (twice)

G D G

I'm a fisherman's son got fisherman's ways

G D G

I fished with my father in my young days

G F C Am

I learned the fine craft of the fisherman's trade

G D G

Just to pass to my son so he'll do the same

Chorus (twice with no music)
