C                        Fmaj7
Was fresh and bright and early
  C                Fmaj7
I went towards the river
    C                 Fmaj7                  
But nothing still has altered 
         Fmaj7          G
Just the seasons ring a change

C                    Fma7       
There stood this old timer
    C                     Fmaj7
For all the world's first poacher
    C             Fmaj7
His mind upon his tackle
                         G
And these words upon his mind:

C Fmaj7 (x4)

C                    Fmaj7 
Bring me a fish with eyes of jewels
    C                Fmaj7
And mirrors on their bodies
C                     Fmaj7
Bring them strong and bring them bigger
Fmaj7          G
Than a newborn child

     C               Fmaj7 
Well I've no use for riches
    C               Fmaj7
And I've no use for power
    C                 Fmaj7
And I've no use for a broken heart
     Fmaj7             G    
I'll let this world go by
 
C            Fmaj7 (x4)
(dum dum dum dum)

C Fmaj7 (x2)

C                    Fmaj7
There stood this old timer
    C                     Fmaj7
For all the world's first poacher
    C             Fmaj7
His mind upon his tackle
          Fmaj7          G
And these words upon his mind:

C                    Fmaj7 
Bring me a fish with eyes of jewels
    C                Fmaj7
And mirrors on their bodies
C                     Fmaj7
Bring them strong and bring them bigger
Fmaj7          G
Than a newborn child

C Fmaj7 (x8)

C            Fmaj7 (x4)
(dum dum dum dum)      (and fade)
