verse 1 
Am                         G     Em     Am 
I’m a seafaring man, I’m a rider on the storm 
F         C              G           Am 
Son of my father, on the water I was born 
F            C        G    Em     Am 
I work until dark and rise at the dawn

All in the lines as I sing my song

Out here in the weather, I tend my nets

But a fisherman’s life has few regrets

In a hard day’s labor, some hands get wet 
F                           G    Em Am 
But it all works out when I land my catch

I have a good woman who waits for me back on the shore 
        F         C          G   Am 
While I chase the fish off a Labrador 
    F        C      G   Em  Am 
She leaves a candle burning bright 
F                     G       Em  Am 
To bring me home safe through the night

The stars in the sky are all I need

So tow my boat to my fam-i-ly 
     F                 G    Em  Am 
They’ll keep on living from the sea
