                         The Fisherman's Song              (Arr. Silly Wizard)

  

  This song follows a rather straight forward fingerpicking convention. And

  as it is a ballad, it tends to sound a little better off skin, than plastic

  Anyhow..real easy, good practice for budding pickers, bass note with thumb,

  followed by the next three notes on index, middle, and ring respectively.

  (Well, you may not play like that, but its how I learned, do whatever works

  best). The whole song follows through using very straight forward chords.

  This is a demo TAB of the first line or so,

     

     T i m r m i T i m r etc....

     Am- - - - - C - - - - - C (still) - Dm- - - - - Dm- - - - - Am- etc..

  ...storm torn  Shoreline a woman is -- Standing  -------  the  Spray

  

  Anyhow, here are the lyrics to this song.

  

  INTRO Enough Am pluckings to sound okay..song is in 4/4, so play three, and 

  have a little tacet to set things off.

  

  (tacet) Am        C                      Dm

  By the storm torn shoreline, a woman is standing

       Am               C             Am

  The spray strung like jewels in the air

          Am           C                          Dm

  And the sea near the rocks, near that desolate landing

     Am            C                Dm      Am

  As though it had known, she stood there

  

  CHORUS (Exact progression as above)

  For she had come down, to condemn that wild ocean

  For the murderous loss of her man

  His boat sailed out, on Wednsday mornin'

  And its feared she's gone down, with all hands.

  

  More Verses:

  Oh, and white were the wavecaps, and wild was their parting

  So fierce is(as) the warring of love

  But she prayed to the Gods, both of men and of sailors

  Not to cast their cruel nets o'er her love

  

  CHORUS

  SOLO (Sorry, can't remember how it goes -- exactly)

           Dm              Am        C               Am

  This is played up to four times, but usually only twice. There are some 

  slight variations that can be played on this, but this is only important to

  note on the four time solo. (This is sorta something I made up, and may

  not be what is on the albulm, as there it is an accompniment of some flutes,

  etc. It does a good job of staying with the flow though) The exit to the solo 

  is as follows from the last Am

     Am

  Something is lost in the timing here, and I don't know how to transpose it 

  correctly, listen to the CD, it is fairly close.

  

  There's a school on the hill, where the son's of dead fathers

  Are led towards tempests and gails

  Where their God given wings, are clipped close to their bodies

  And their eyes are bound round, with ship's sails.

  

  CHORUS

  

  What force leads a man, to a life filled with danger

  Aye, when seas are a mile, and are grand <<sounds right>>

  Its when need is his master, and poverty's no stranger

  And there's no other work to be found.

  

  CHORUS
