G Am D Em7 where patterson creek’s muddy waters run down Cadd9 G Am D past the penny arcades , by the harbour downtown , Em7 Am D Em7 all the old turtlebacks rust in the rain Cadd9 D G like they never will leave there again . G Am D Em7 but leave there they will in the hours before dawn , Cadd9 G Am D slip out in the darkness without word or song; Em7 Am D Em7 for a few more years yet they will work while they can Cadd9 D G to catch tiny fish for japan . D D Cadd9 G no white fish or trout here , we leave them alone . Cadd9 G Am D the inspectors raise hell if we take any home . D D Cadd9 G what kind of fisherman can’t eat his catch Em7 D4 D or call what he’s taken his own? G Am D Em7 but the plant works three shifts now . there’s plenty of pay . Cadd9 G Am D we ship seventeen tons of this garbage each day . Em7 Am D Em7 if we want to eat fish , then we’ll open a can , Cadd9 D G and catch tiny fish for japan . D D Cadd9 G in the norfolk hotel there’s far too much beer , Cadd9 G Am D the old guys remember when the water ran clear . D D Cadd9 G no poisons with names that we can’t understand Em7 D4 D and no tiny fish for japan . . . G Am D Em7 so the days run together . each one is the same . Cadd9 G Am D and it’s good that the smelt have no lovelier name . Em7 Am D Em7 it’s all just a job now , we’ll work while we can , Cadd9 D G to catch tiny fish for japan . Cadd9 D G and we’ll catch tiny fish for japan .
