Verse
D A
In nineteen-eighty-five, in a quiet fishing village where I was well known,
G D
In a time of recession, with a wife and three children, I built our new home.
G
As a backyard mechanic, I'd fix up their old cars when something went wrong;
A D
And I'd be the first one, to give them a loan when their money was gone.
[Verse 2]
D A
As I was a plumber, and I was a carpenter in my spare time;
G D
And out on the Grand Banks, I worked on the big ones until eighty-nine.
D G
And I was the musician, at parties and weddings I played and I sang;
D A D
As I'm Jack of all trades, but least I can say, I'm a fisherman.
[Chorus]
D G D
I am a fisherman, and just like my father before me,
D G D
I'm a preacher, a teacher; I can be anything That you want me to be
A
.And I am the critic, who fights the politicians to get the work done;
G A D
'cause I'm Jack of all trades, but least I can say, I'm a fisherman.
[Verse 3]
D A
Now, the years have gone by. There are tears in my eyes, and my children have grown;
G D
My old boat is all dry. There it sits on its side, down the path from my home.
G
My old house is still standing. "For Sale," the sign reads, standing out on the lawn;
D A D
And to each I explains, all the hardships and gains of a fisherman.
[Chorus]
D G D
I am a fisherman, just like my father before me,
D G D
I'm a preacher, a teacher; I can be anything That you want me to be.
A
And I am the critic, Who fights the politicians to get the work done;
G A D
'cause I'm Jack of all trades, But least I can say, I'm a fisherman.
[Verse 4]
D A
Now it's nineteen-ninety-four, I go fishin' no more Don't you think that it's cruel?
G D
Almost fifty years old, And today I was told I should go back to school.
G
I have no diploma and i've got no papers to prove what I am;
D A D
Life can be hard for me, 'cause I've got no degree; I'm a fisherman.
[Chorus]
D G D
I am a fisherman, just like my father before me,
D G D
I'm a preacher, a teacher; I can be anything That you want me to be.
A
And I am the critic, Who fights the politicians to get the work done;
G A D
'cause I'm Jack of all trades, But least I can say, I'm a fisherman.
[Coda]
G D
Least I can say, I'm a fisherman.
