Arrowsic chords by David Mallett

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

INTRO:
    Am   C    F    C
    F    C    G    C

VERSE 1:
C        G      C      G
I could be a fisher, 'cause I have a friend
     C   F      C      G
Who's buying a boat of his own when he can
     C    G       C     G
And he lives in a tiny and a timeless old town
    C      F       G     C
At the end of an island where the sea rushes down.

BRIDGE:
   Am      G       F      C
And early each morning with the sun barely risen
    F     C            G
With dreams of a lost love and no sign of fear
   C      G     C     G
He heads for the ocean in lumbering stride
    C      F      G      C
And he sets out to sea with the sun in his eyes


VERSE 2:
    C    G     C      G
And he told me if I get tired of the race
    C       F      C     G
And I can't keep a hold on my passion and pace
     C      G     C      G
I could sleep in his kitchen and ride on the waves
   C      F      C      G
And learn about fishin' and learn to be brave
    C      G      C      G
In the face of a roller with my face to the wind
   C      F       G       C
And fill up the bait bags and pull lobsters in


CHORUS:
   Am     G       F      C
And today as I wonder what's a-waitin' for me
   F    C        G      C
I long for Arowsic and the sound of the sea


VERSE 3:
  C        G      C     G
And I could be a farmer 'cause I have a way
    C      F       C       G
With plants and I make them grow well, so they say
      C        G      C     G
And I've worked some at plowing those rocky old fields
    C      F         G     C
With a broken down horse plow that I bought on a deal


VERSE 4:
     Am     G        C
Ah but no one works harder than the farmers and fools
     F         C               G
And you can't learn the business in your books or your schools
      C      G      C       G
You just take what it gives you and give what you can
   C       F       G       C
But a man could be worse than be one with the land


CHORUS:
   Am     G       F     C
And today as I wonder what's a-waitin' for me
  F      C       G      C
I long for the hills and what they gave to me
