Capo:no capo
[Intro]
C G F (3x)
G F G
[Verse 1]
C Am
The fisherman are pitching pennies
G
In the sand beside the sea
F C
The sunrise hits their oilskin boots
G
And their painted boats and me
Am G
They seem to know the ocean
F Em Dm
Like a man knows a woman
C G
She makes him wait around for half the morning
F C
For the tide to turn
[Chorus]
F C G C
Pull in the ropes, Seine haul fisherman
F C F C G
Never catches more than he knows he can sell in a day
F C G C
Pull in the nets, Seine haul fisherman
F C F C G C F C G F
Day's for work and night's the time to go dancing
[Verse 2]
C Am
They're drinking beer and laughing
G
And squinting at the sun
F C
Waiting for the gulls to tell them
G
When the fish will come
Am G
Their faces brown and weathered
F Em Dm
From all the nets they've run
C G
They've learned to wait, they always know
F C G C
That the tide will turn
[Chorus]
F C G C
Pull in the ropes, Seine haul fisherman
F C F C G
Never catches more than he knows he can sell in a day
F C G C
Pull in the nets, Seine haul fisherman
F C F C G C F C G F
Day's for work and night's the time to go dancing

[Verse 3]
C Am
Way out on the ocean
G F
The big ships hunt for whales
C
The Japanese have caught so many
G
That now they hunt for snails
Am G
My fisherman's not greedy
F Em Dm
He seems content to live
C G
With the sun and the sand and a net full of fish
F C G C
When the tide turns
[Chorus]
