[Verse 1]
D G
Crab pots piled up on the pier
D A
Boats sitting silently here
G D G
Impatiently waiting for setting and baiting
D A D
Will they even head out this year
[Verse 2]
D G
In a musty old boardroom they gather around
D A
The greedy fish merchants offer 2 bucks a pound
G D G
It's mean and it’s cruel, I burn more that in fuel
D A D
Just making my way to the grounds
[Chorus]
G D
What can a fisherman be
G A
If a fisherman’s not out at sea
G D G
I can’t stay on shore ‘cause I’ve got bills galore
D A D
And a wife and a young family
[Verse 3]
D G
The prices are rising each year
D A
But we don’t see the benefits here
G D G
Our profits are lost, eaten up by the cost
D A D
We're in for some hard times I fear
[Chorus]
G D
What can a fisherman be
G A
If a fisherman’s not out at sea
G D G
I can’t stay on shore ‘cause I’ve got bills galore
D A D
And a wife and a young family
