VERSE 1:
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
I could be a fisher, 'cause I have a friend
C majorC FF C majorC G+G
Who's buying a boat of his own when he can
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
And he lives in a tiny and a timeless old town
C majorC FF G+G C majorC
At the end of an island where the sea rushes down.
BRIDGE:
A minorAm G+G FF C majorC
And early each morning with the sun barely risen
FF C majorC G+G
With dreams of a lost love and no sign of fear
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
He heads for the ocean in lumbering stride
C majorC FF G+G C majorC
And he sets out to sea with the sun in his eyes
VERSE 2:
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
And he told me if I get tired of the race
C majorC FF C majorC G+G
And I can't keep a hold on my passion and pace
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
I could sleep in his kitchen and ride on the waves
C majorC FF C majorC G+G
And learn about fishin' and learn to be brave
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
In the face of a roller with my face to the wind
C majorC FF G+G C majorC
And fill up the bait bags and pull lobsters in
CHORUS:
A minorAm G+G FF C majorC
And today as I wonder what's a-waitin' for me
FF C majorC G+G C majorC
I long for Arowsic and the sound of the sea
VERSE 3:
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
And I could be a farmer 'cause I have a way
C majorC FF C majorC G+G
With plants and I make them grow well, so they say
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
And I've worked some at plowing those rocky old fields
C majorC FF G+G C majorC
With a broken down horse plow that I bought on a deal
VERSE 4:
A minorAm G+G C majorC
Ah but no one works harder than the farmers and fools
FF C majorC G+G
And you can't learn the business in your books or your schools
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
You just take what it gives you and give what you can
C majorC FF G+G C majorC
But a man could be worse than be one with the land
CHORUS:
A minorAm G+G FF C majorC
And today as I wonder what's a-waitin' for me
FF C majorC G+G C majorC
I long for the hills and what they gave to me
