Verse 1
F 
C 
Were it not for rainbow trout
F 
G 
I would have to fish for bass
F 
C 
Were it not for the seasons change
F 
G 
C 
I  would never see time pass
F 
C 
Now, was there not a chance for whiskey
F 
G 
I  could make do with a beer?
F 
C 
I wish I'd have known when I left home
F 
C 
Every road just led back here
F 
I've pumped gas and
C 
I've picked apples
F 
C 
I've dispatched for an ambulance
G 
F 
C 
I've even worked out on the ocean,
F 
G 
C 
but that was when I had no sense.
F 
And in every town
C 
I did believe
F 
there was no job
C 
G 
I could not leave.
F 
C 
Some I quit when I got tired,
F

on some I admit I was fired.

Now I'm standing thigh deep
C 
in this trout stream
F 
C 
G 
The air is still, the sun is low
F 
C 
The day is almost over now
F 
G 
C 
I can see myself here years ago
F 
C 
And I dream I am nine again
F 
When it seems  like summer
G 
never ends
F 
Hear the crickets sing,
C 
hear the peepers call
F 
See the full moon shine
G 
C 
like a whiffle ball
