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
