 Capo 4th Fret          G       D      G
 use a G with three fingers not with four
 
 G                              D        G
 I'm a fisherman's son got fisherman's ways
 G                        D            G
 I fished with my father in my young days
       G              F              C         Am
 I learned the fine craft of the fisherman's trade
           G                 D            G            G     D    G
 Just to pass to my son so he'll do the same
 
 G                            D           G
 The sea is my lifeline the shore is my home
 G                            D           G
 I've been to your cities I didn't stay long
       G           F                C         Am
 I stared at the bright lights the dark city ways
       G                             D          G
 I'll tell you that's not for me, no I didn't stay
 
 Chorus: F      C      C/G     G       D         G
 Singing La La La La La La,    La La La La La La La
 
 G                          D              G
 Some days are rough so we roll with the waves
 G                      D            G
 This living is tough, slack is the pay
         G                F         C           Am
 But we leave with the sunrise, we wake at the dawn
 G              D          G
 Singing the fisherman's song 
 
 
 Chorus
 
 
 G                            D          G
 I'm a fisherman's son got fisherman's blood
 G                          D           G   
 Just hauling the lobster, jigging the cod
  G                F            C         Am
 And if you don't like me then leave me alone
      G                      D           G   
 And I'll go on singing my fisherman's song
 
 Chorus (twice)
 
 G                           D          G
 I'm a fisherman's son got fisherman's ways
 G                        D            G
 I fished with my father in my young days
       G              F             C          Am
 I learned the fine craft of the fisherman's trade
          G                  D           G
 Just to pass to my son so he'll do the same
 
 Chorus (twice with no music)
