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