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)
Chorus (twice with music)
