Let me know if it needs correction!
Where P[G]atterson C[Am]reek's muddy wa[D]ters run d[Em7]own
Past the p[Cadd9]enny arcade[G]s, by the h[Am]arbour down[D]town,
[Em7]All the old Tu[Am]rtlebacks [D]rust in the [Em7]rain
Like they n[Cadd9]ever will l[D]eave there ag[G]ain.
But l[G]eave there they w[Am]ill in the h[D]ours before [Em7]dawn,
Slip [Cadd9]out in the d[G]arkness wit[Am]hout word or s[D]ong;
For a [Em7]few more years [Am]yet they will [D]work while they [Em7]can
To c[Cadd9]atch tiny [D]fish for J[G]apan.
No w[D]hite fish or [D]trout here, we [Cadd9]leave them [G]alone.
The ins[Cadd9]pectors raise [G]hell if we t[Am]ake any h[D]ome.
[D]What kind of fis[D]herman [Cadd9]can't eat his [G]catch
Or [Em7]call what he's [D4]taken his [D]own?
But the [G]plant works three [Am]shifts now. There's [D]plenty of [Em7]pay.
We ship s[Cadd9]eventeen [G]tons of this g[Am]arbage each [D]day.
If we w[Em7]ant to eat [Am]fish, then we'll o[D]pen a [Em7]can,
And [Cadd9]catch tiny [D]fish for [G]Japan.
In the N[D]orfolk H[D]otel there's [Cadd9]far too much [G]beer,
The o[Cadd9]ld guys re[G]member when the [Am]water ran c[D]lear.
No p[D]oisons with na[D]mes that we [Cadd9]can't under[G]stand
And [Em7]no tiny f[D4]ish for Jap[D]an...
So the [G]days run to[Am]gether. Each [D]one is the [Em7]same.
And it's [Cadd9]good that the [G]smelt have no [Am]lovelier [D]name.
It's [Em7]all just a [Am]job now, we'll [D]work while we [Em7]can,
To [Cadd9]catch tiny [D]fish for J[G]apan.
And we'll [Cadd9]catch tiny [D]fish for J[G]apan.
