  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)

  Chorus (twice with music)

  

   G         D

  La La La La La La La

   G         D

  La La La La La La La

   G         D
