Tiny Fish For Japan Stan Rogers
Where P[G]atterson C[Am]reek's muddy w[D]aters run d[Em]own
Past the p[C]enny ar[G]cades, by the [Am]harbour do[D]wntown,
[Em]All the old Tur[Am]tlebacks r[D]ust in the r[Em]ain
Like they n[C]ever will l[D]eave there ag[G]ain.
But l[G]eave there they w[Am]ill in the ho[D]urs before da[Em]wn,
Slip [C]out in the d[G]arkness wit[Am]hout word or so[D]ng;
For a [Em]few more years y[Am]et they will w[D]ork while they c[Em]an
To c[C]atch tiny f[D]ish for Ja[G]pan.
No whi[D]te fish or tr[D]out here, we le[C]ave them al[G]one.
The ins[C]pectors raise h[G]ell if we ta[Am]ke any ho[D]me.
[D]What kind of fis[D]herman can[C]'t keep his cat[G]ch
Or c[Em]all what he's t[C/G]aken his o[D]wn?
But the pla[G]nt works three s[Am]hifts now. There's p[D]lenty of p[Em]ay.
We ship sev[C]enteen t[G]ons of this ga[Am]rbage each d[D]ay.
If we w[Em]ant to eat [Am]fish, then we'll o[D]pen a c[Em]an,
And ca[C]tch tiny f[D]ish for J[G]apan.
In the N[D]orfolk H[D]otel over[C] far too much[G] beer,
The o[C]ld guys reme[G]mber when the [Am]water ran cl[D]ear.
No p[D]oisons with na[D]mes that we c[C]an't under[G]stand
And [Em]no tiny [C/G]fish for [D]Japan...
So the da[G]ys run to[Am]gether. Each o[D]ne is the s[Em]ame.
And it's g[C]ood that the s[G]melt have no l[Am]ovelier n[D]ame.
It's a[Em]ll just a j[Am]ob now, we'll w[D]ork while we c[Em]an,
To ca[C]tch tiny f[D]ish for Ja[G]pan.
And we'll c[C]atch tiny f[D]ish for Ja[G]pan.
