Standard (EADGBE)

Was fresh and bright and early

 I went towards the river

 But nothing still has altered

 Just the seasons ring a change

There stood this old timer

 For all the world's first poacher

 His mind upon his tackle

 And these words upon his mind:

Bring me a fish with eyes of jewels

 And mirrors on their bodies

Bring them strong and bring them bigger

Than a newborn child

 Well I've no use for riches

 And I've no use for power

 And I've no use for a broken heart

 I'll let this world go by

(dum dum dum dum)

There stood this old timer

 For all the world's first poacher

 His mind upon his tackle

 And these words upon his mind:

Bring me a fish with eyes of jewels

 And mirrors on their bodies

Bring them strong and bring them bigger

Than a newborn child

(dum dum dum dum) (and fade)
