Am C F C F C G C 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. 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 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 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 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 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 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
