GBetween the darkness and the ligD7ht. As the stars fade out of sight
Dm7/GI can hear his shiny boots fall on the Gsand
GWith a basket at his side. And the mD7orning full of pride
Dm7/GYou can see him cast his line with skillful Ghands
GHey hey, Dm7/Gfisherman. CWish you luck that's Gall I can
GHey hey, Dm7/Gfisherman. CForget the world if Gthat's your plan
GAs the morning turns to noon. He's cD7ontent to sit and croon
Dm7/GAnd he lights his twisted pipe and settles Gdown
GOnward goes the time - As he D7tries new baited line
So he Dm7/Gdigs another worm up from the Gground
GHey hey, Dm7/Gfisherman - CWish you luck that's Gall I can
GHey hey, Dm7/Gfisherman - CForget the world if Gthat's your plan
GT'ween the nightness and the light - The line is D7taut, he has a bite
Dm7/GAnd he hauls the beauty in with skillful Gpride
GAnd his patient mind is blown.'Cause the fiD7sh is overgrown
Dm7/GIt was really worth a day for such a Gprize
GHey hey, Dm7/Gfisherman C  G
