Version 1 Version 2 Version 3[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 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 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 G F Light in my head, you in my arms G F Light in my head, you in my arms
