Tiny Fish for Japan Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Where [G]Patterson Creek's
[A]muddy [D]waters run [Em]down
Past [C]the penny ar[G]cades,
by the [Am]harbour [C]dow[D]ntown,
[Em]All the [A]old [Am]Tur[D]
tlebacks rust in the [Em]rain
Like they [C]never will [D]leave there [G]again.

[Verse 2]
[G]
But leave there they [Am]will in
the [D]hours before [Em]dawn,
Slip [C]out in the [G]darkness [A]without
[Am]word [D]or song;
[Em]For a few more years [A]yet they
will [D]work while they [Em]can
To [C]catch tiny [D]fish [G]for Japan.

[Verse 3]
No [D]white fish or trout here,
we [C]leave them [G]alone.
The in[C]spectors raise [G]hell
if [Am]we take any [D]home.
What kind of fisherman
[C]can't eat [G]his catch
[Em]Or call what he's [A]taken his [D]own?

[Verse 4]
But the [G]plant works three [Am]shifts
now. There's [D]plenty of [Em]pay.
We ship [C]seventeen [G]tons of
this [Am]garbage each [D]day.
If [Em]we want to eat [Am]fish,
then we'll [D]open a [Em]can,
And [C]catch tiny [D]fish [G]for Japan.

[Interlude 1]
[G][Am][D][Em]
[C][G][Am][D][Em][Am][D][Em][C][D]
[G]
[D]In the Norfolk

[Verse 5]
Hotel over
[C]far too much beer[G],
The [C]old guys re[G]member
when the [Am]water ran [D]clear.
No poisons with names that
[C]we can't [Am]under[G]stand
And [Em]no tiny fi[A]sh f[D]or Japan

[Verse 6]
So the [G]days run to[Am]gether.
Each [D]one is [Em]the same.
And it's [C]good that [G]the smelt
have no [Am]lovelier [D]name.
It's [Em]all just [Am]a job now,
we'll [D]work while we [Em]can,
To [C]catch tiny [D]fish [G]for [Am]Japan.[D][Em]
And we'll [C]catch tiny [D]fish for Japan.
[G]
