View chords used in this chart
G D7
Between the darkness and the light. As the stars fade out of sight
Dm7/G G
I can hear his shiny boots fall on the sand
G D7
With a basket at his side. And the morning full of pride
Dm7/G G
You can see him cast his line with skillful hands
G Dm7/G C G
Hey hey, fisherman. Wish you luck that's all I can
G Dm7/G C G
Hey hey, fisherman. Forget the world if that's your plan
G D7
As the morning turns to noon. He's content to sit and croon
Dm7/G G
And he lights his twisted pipe and settles down
G D7
Onward goes the time - As he tries new baited line
Dm7/G G
So he digs another worm up from the ground
G Dm7/G C G
Hey hey, fisherman - Wish you luck that's all I can
G Dm7/G C G
Hey hey, fisherman - Forget the world if that's your plan
G D7
T'ween the nightness and the light - The line is taut, he has a bite
Dm7/G G
And he hauls the beauty in with skillful pride
G D7
And his patient mind is blown.'Cause the fish is overgrown
Dm7/G G
It was really worth a day for such a prize
G Dm7/G C G
Hey hey, fisherman
