[Intro]
G F Am C
G F Am C
[Verse 1]
G F
I wish I was a fisherman, tumbling on the seas
Am C
Far away from dry land, and it's bitter memories
G F
Casting out my sweet line, with abandonment and love
Am C
No ceiling bearing down on me, save the starry sky above
[Chorus]
G F Am G F Am C
With light in my head, you in my arms, woo woo ooh
[Verse 2]
G F
I wish I was the brake man, on a hurtlin' fevered train
Am C
Crashing headlong into the heartland, like a cannon in the rain
G F
With the beating of the sleepers, and the burning of the coal
Am C
Counting towns flashing by me, in a night that's full of soul
[Chorus]
G F Am G F Am C
With light in my head, you in my arms, woo woo ooh
[Verse 3]
G F
Oh I know I will be loosened, from bonds that hold me fast
Am C
And the chains all hung around me, will fall away at last
G F
And on that fine and fateful day, I will take thee in my hands
Am C
I will ride on the train, I will be the fisherman
[Chorus]
G F Am C
With light in my head, you in my arms, woo woo ooh
G F
Light in my head, you in my arms
Am C
Light in my head, you in my arms
G F
Light in my head, you in my arms

Great tab.
"Oh I know I will be loosened, from bonds that hold me tight"
Should be
"Oh I know I will be loosened, from bonds that hold me fast"
So that it rhyme with
"And the chains all hung around me will fall away at last"
Cheers

I like this tab. Gives you an accurate idea of how to play the song. (I tried it on the uke first, and it sounds good.)
