Fisherman from Fake Hotel by Dave Walker

FISHERMAN
(D Walker/M Stanley/G Hunt/J Edgar/R Melville)

INT: C | C(add G#) | F | G (similar for chorus)

C Em Am G C
The bottom of a coffee cup, is a good time to stop
Em Am G
And question all that’s been over this long year

You know that I went way down and I nearly drowned

In a sea of wine and bitter tears

Chorus:
I was your fisherman and you waited for me, in our shack by the sea
And the children cried and wondered why you were so sad
(And I never came home)

The start of a cigarette is a good time to forget,
why my pen ran out and when the music stopped
And I put it all on you, reflected what I knew,
To be my own failings
Bide my time while I’m sailing
