*the best part of the song is where the Em is walked up on the bassline
right before the chorus.  It looks like this:      0-----0
				0-----0
				0-----0
				2-----2
				2-----2
				0-----3  (with pinky)		

Intro  - (slowly)  D     Am  

C			Em
I cast the net he hauls it in
Dm				Am
life and death it doesn't mean a thing.
	Dm			Am
We're wringing to the bone, the days are chaperoned,
Em with bass
slowly the night draws in.

Am 	-	Em  with bass      repeat a few times

(same chords as above)
I couldn't cut another throat.  The fish the ships are dancing for us both.
The captain with his hand an extraordinary man, in love with the north
sea's roll.

Am	-	Em with bass
Trollers haul us home........

D	-	Am
Haul us home.   Sail us home.

D	-	Am      Em w/ bass  Am		-	Em

Whistling part is the C Em Dm Am Dm Am.....

Em		          Am

Well, that's it.  Looking back, I described this horribly.  Too bad, it's
late and I'm tired.  So, hope everybody's doing well; again, somebody
please email me for an update, my address is gels@PLAINS.NODAK.EDU  I think. 
Whatever's on the letterhead.  Anyway, everybody take care.....
