 C   Fmaj7(x4)
CWas fresh and bright and Fmaj7early
I Cwent towards the Fmaj7river
But Cnothing still has Fmaj7altered
Just the Fmaj7seasons ring a Gchange
CThere stood this old Fma7timer
For Call the world's first Fmaj7poacher
His Cmind upon his Fmaj7tackle
And these words upon his Gmind:
 C   Fmaj7(x4)
CBring me a fish with Fmaj7eyes of jewels
And Cmirrors on their Fmaj7bodies
CBring them strong and Fmaj7bring them bigger
Fmaj7Than a newborn Gchild
Well CI've no use for Fmaj7riches
And CI've no use for Fmaj7power
And CI've no use for a Fmaj7broken heart
I'll Fmaj7let this world go Gby
            C   Fmaj7(x4)
(dum dum dum dum)
 C   Fmaj7(x2)
CThere stood this old Fmaj7timer
For Call the world's first Fmaj7poacher
His Cmind upon his Fmaj7tackle
And these Fmaj7words upon his Gmind:
CBring me a fish with Fmaj7eyes of jewels
And Cmirrors on their Fmaj7bodies
CBring them strong and Fmaj7bring them bigger
Fmaj7Than a newborn Gchild
 C   Fmaj7(x8)
            C   Fmaj7(x4)
(dum dum dum dum)      (and fade)
