Verse 1
I (G major) went (C major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
down to
the (C major) fishin' hole
(D major) to carry along my fishin' pole
Some (G major) got my hook and (C major) grabbed my bait
and (D major) took me out in the middle of
the lake
Some jumped, (G major) I (C major) got sunk,
bap (D major) tized on the credit (G major) (D major) (G major)
Fishin' down in (C major) the muddy bank,
(D major) I felt a pull and I gave a big yank
And I (G major) jerked out two old (C major) rubber boots
and a (D major) Ford Radiator and
Chevrolet Pura (G major)
(C major) Handed them in for national defense
(D major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
(D major) (G major) You go fishing,
I'll (C major) tell you what to do
Just (D major) set right down in the grassy dew
Take a piece of (G major) string, (C major) tie it on your pole
And (D major) throw it way out
in the middle of the hole
And then just find your good shade (G major) tree
Sit (C major) down, go (D major) to sleep,
forget all about it (G major) (D major) (G major)
(D major) (G major) (D major)
(G major) Sittin' in a boat with a
(C major) bucket of (D major) beer
Hadn't caught nothin',
didn't much care
(G major) Guess I was pretty well (C major) satisfied
Had (D major) my little lady right by my side
Takin' it (G major) easy
Worm (C major) been gone off that hook for (D major) a
couple of hours (G major) (C major) (D major) (G major)
Stagnant waters of (C major) stinking things
(D major) Slick on top and all turn green
When the (G major) water goes bad, the (C major) fish all run
You can (D major) set all day, not catch a one
Except mud (G major) wallopers, gar (C major) fish,
(G major) an (D major) d a few little slugs (G major) (D major) (G major) (E minor)
(G major) (D major) (G major)
I jumped in the (C major) river and I went
down deep
(D major) to the hundred -pound catfish
layin' there asleep.
Jumped (G major) on his (C major) back and rode
him into town,
(D major) saddled him up and then I turned around.
Folks (G major) come a -runnin', dog (C major) s barkin',
kid (D major) s lookin'. (G major) (C major) (D major)
(G major)
I waded out to (C major) a sandy bar
and I (D major) caught myself a big alligator gar
and I (G major) drug him home across (C major) my back.
(D major) Tail was dragging a mile and a half, (G major)
flippin' and (C major) floppin',
sold (D major) him for corn and got drunk,
Shotcrafts, cottontail (G major) (D major) (G major) (E minor) (G major) (C major)
(D major)
(G major) Early one morning (C major) it took me a notion
to (D major) go out fishing in
the middle of the ocean
And I caught myself (G major) a great (C major) big shark
And (D major) I didn't get him home till way past dark
(G major) It was a man (C major) eater, tough (D major) customer,
just wasn't quite tough enough (G major) (C major) (D major)
(G major) Late last night I (C major) had me a dream,
(D major) I was out fishin' in a whiskey stream
I baited my (G major) hook with (C major) ap plejack,
so (D major) I had a drink, bring a gallon back (G major)
I've (C major) done pretty good,
till the (D major) stream run dry,
so I'll give the fish back
to the fin (G major) ance company.
