[VERSE 1]
The [C]fisherman are pitching [Am]pennies
In the [G]sand beside the sea
The [F]sunrise hits their [C]oilskin boots
And their [G]painted boats and me
They [Am]seem to know the [G]ocean
Like a [F]man [Em]knows a [Dm]woman
She [C]makes him wait around for [G]half the morning
For the [F]tide to [C]turn

[CHORUS]
[F]Pull in the [C]ropes, [G]Seine haul fisher[C]man
[F]Never catches [C]more than he [F]knows he can [C]sell in a [G]day
[F]Pull in the [C]nets, [G]Seine haul fisher[C]man
[F]Day's for [C]work and [F]night's the [C]time to go [G]danc[C]ing [F] [C] [G] [F]

[VERSE 2]
They're [C]drinking beer and [Am]laughing
And[G] squinting at the sun
[F]Waiting for the [C]gulls to tell them
[G]When the fish will come
Their [Am]faces brown and [G]weathered
From [F]all the [Em]nets they've [Dm]run
They've learned to [C]wait, they always [G]know
That the [F]tide will [C]turn [G] [C]

[VERSE 3]
[C]Way out on the [Am]ocean
The [G]big ships hunt for whales [F]
The Japanese have [C]caught so many
That [G]now they hunt for snails
My [Am]fisherman's not [G]greedy
