Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 I'm a fisherman's son got fisherman's ways

 I fished with my father in my young days

 I learned the fine craft of the fisherman's trade

 Just to pass to my son so he'll do the same

 The sea is my lifeline the shore is my home

 I've been to your cities I didn't stay long

 I stared at the bright lights the dark city ways

 I'll tell you that's not for me, no I didn't stay

Chorus

 Singing La La La La La La, La La La La La La La

 Some days are rough so we roll with the waves

 This living is tough, slack is the pay

 But we leave with the sunrise, we wake at the dawn

 Singing the fisherman's song

Chorus

 I'm a fisherman's son got fisherman's blood

 Just hauling the lobster, jigging the cod

 And if you don't like me then leave me alone

 And I'll go on singing my fisherman's song

Chorus

twice)

 I'm a fisherman's son got fisherman's ways

 I fished with my father in my young days

 I learned the fine craft of the fisherman's trade

 Just to pass to my son so he'll do the same
