The Fishermans Daughter by Mike Donaghy




        The Fishermans Daughter 






Capo: 10th fret
 
Intro: Em C D G G
 
       G                         C
As the children they play in the corner
        D                           G     D
and the laughter it fills the whole street.
          Em                     C
There's a man that stands by the boathouse
       D                         G
with a daughter that I'd like to meet.
 
 
          C                    D
She's got long brown hair that shines like the sun
      G                D             Em
and a skirt that comes down past her knees.
    C                         G
Her smile is as bright as the mornin'
    D                   G
her eyes as blue as the sea.
 
 
      C                          D
And I asked her her name and she turned with a smile
           G          D              Em
and said: "Stranger I don't know you yet."
         C                          G
I said: "There's no such thing as a stranger
     D                       G
just friends that we haven't met."
 
 
    G                   C
Her neck is home to her necklace
         D                       G     D
with the cross of our lord Jesus Christ.
      Em                       C
And I asked her if she was religious
                D                    G
she said: "I'll let you know later tonight."
 
 
       C                         D
As she spoke of the past and the trouble she had
        G             D           Em
I could tell that she hurt deep inside.
         C                          G
I said: "Darling I'll take all your heartache
    D                       G
and never will I leave your side."
 
 
Interlude: Em C D G G
 
 
   G                              C
We walked in the rain through the forest
       D                      G    D
as the moon did its best to appear.
    Em                          C
She said: "We should start to go home now."
     D                    G
Then said she was happier here.
 
 
C                    D
Home is a place that I don't see much.
       G              D         Em
It's a place that I'd rather forget.
         C                        G
And it's nice to have people like you here
   D                     G
to take my mind off my regrets.
 
 
           G                        C
And as the sun rose I looked out my window
        D                       G    D
and the fishermans daughter was gone.
    Em                        C
She didn't leave clues of her actions
    D                       G
she did say she had to move on.
 
 
         C                       D
And I'll miss you my darling and I wish you well
      G                D            Em
and I hope that you'll find peace inside.
   C                        G
If ever when you're feeling lonely
     D                           G
just know that I'm right by your side.
 
 
      C                       D
And I'll miss you my darling and I wish you well
      G                D            Em
and I hope that you'll find peace inside.
   C                        G
If ever when you're feeling lonely
     D                           G
just know that I'm right by your side.
 
 
   C                        G
If ever when you're feeling lonely
     D                           G
just know that I'm right by your side.
