Fishermans Wharf

Am

[Verse 1]

       Am                 G       Am         F        G                Am
It was in the spring this year of grace with new life pushing through
       G                       C                       Em                     F   G
That I looked from the Citadel down to the narrows and asked what it's coming to
      Am             G            Am          F                      D
I saw Upper Canadian concrete and glass right down to the water line
      Bb6                       Am
And I heard an old song down on Fisherman's Wharf
      F            G    Am
Can I sing it just one time?

[Verse 2]

     Am               G           Am           F         G          Am
With half closed eyes against the sun, for the warm wind giving thanks,
  G                           C                              Em                      F       G
I dreamed of the years of the deep-laden schooners thrashing home from the Grand Banks
    Am                    G       Am           F                  D
The last lies done in the harbour sun with her picture on a dime.
      Bb6                       Am
But I heard an old song down on Fisherman's Wharf
      F             G   Am
Can I sing it, just one time?
      F             G   Am
Can I sing it, just one time?

[Chorus]

G    Dsus2 Csus2 Dsus2 Fsus2 Esus2 C                     Am
Then haul away and heave her home. This song is heard no more
   Bb6              Am
No boats to sing it for
   Bb6              Am
No sails to sing it for

G     Dsus2 Csus2 Dsus2 Fsus2 Esus2 C             Am
There rises now a single tide of tourists passing through
          Bb6              Am
We traded old ways for the new
Bb6              Am
Old ways for the new
Bb6              Am
Old ways for the new
        Bbsus2  Am
For the new

[Verse 3]

        Am                 G      Am      F              G            Am
Now you ask "What's this Romantic boy who laments what's done and gone?
          G               C                         Em                  F        G
There was no romance on a cold winter ocean and the gales sang an awful song
       Am              G        Am          F                 D
But my fathers knew of wind and tide and my blood is Maritime
      Bb6                       Am
And I heard an old song down on Fisherman's Wharf
      F             G   Am
Can I sing it, just one time?
      F             G   Am
Can I sing it, Just one time?

[Chorus]

G    Dsus2 Csus2 Dsus2 Fsus2 Esus2 C                     Am
Then haul away and heave her home. This song is heard no more
   Bb6              Am
No boats to sing it for
   Bb6              Am
No sails to sing it for

G     Dsus2 Csus2 Dsus2 Fsus2 Esus2 C             Am
There rises now a single tide of tourists passing through
          Bb6              Am
We traded old ways for the new
Bb6              Am
Old ways for the new
Bb6              Am
Old ways for the new
        Bbsus2  Am
For the new

[Verse 4]

       Am                 G       Am         F        G               Am
It was in the spring this year of grace with new life pushing through
       G                       C                       Em                     F   G
That I looked from the Citadel down to the narrows and asked what it's coming to
      Am             G            Am          F                      D
I saw Upper Canadian concrete and glass right down to the water line
      Bb6                       Am
And I heard an old song down on Fisherman's Wharf
      F            G   Am
Can I sing it just one time?
      F            G   Am
Can I sing it just one time?
      F            G   Am
Can I sing it just one time?
      F            G   Am
Can I sing it just one time?
