Verse 1
(G major) I went (C major) (D major) (G major) (C major) (D major)
(G major) down to the (C major) fishin' hole
I (D major) sat down with my fishin' pole
Somethin' (G major) grabbed my
hook and it (C major) got my bait
And (D major) jerked me out into the middle of the lake
(G major) Some jumped,
(C major) but some got (D major) baptized on credit (G major) (C major) (D major)
(G major) I was fishin' down on the
(C major) muddy bank
and I felt (D major) a pull and I give a big yank and I
(G major) hauled out a pair of (C major) muddy boots
that Ford (D major) radiated
and the Chevrolet Coupe
hanged (G major) it in for (C major) nation (D major) al
defense. (G major) (C major) (D major) (G major)
Sittin' in the boat with a (C major) bucket of beer
and I (D major) hadn't caught nothin' but her, didn't
I (G major) guess I was pretty well (C major) satisfied
Half (D major) a little woman right by my side
Tak (G major) in' it easy
(C major) Worm been gone off of that hook
(D major) Just about an hour I was (G major) busy (C major) (D major)
(G major) Well, if you go fish (D major) in' I'll
(C major) tell you what to do
Go (D major) sit down by the grass you do
And you can (G major) get a piece of string
(C major) Tied on your pole
(D major) Throw it out into the middle of the hole
(G major) Find a shady tree
(C major) Sit down
Go (D major) to sleep (G major) (C major) (D major)
(G major) I jumped in the river and I
went (C major) down deep
there's a (D major) hundred -pound catfish
laying there asleep and I (G major) jumped on his back and I (C major) rode him around and I
(D major) saddled him up and I gunned to town wo (G major) men crying, (C major) dogs barking,
little (D major) kids a -squawming (G major) (C major) (D major)
(G major) I waited out on a (C major) sandy bar
and caught (D major) myself a big alligator
Gardner (G major) dragged him home
(C major) across my back
and his (D major) tail was dragging
a mile and a half
(G major) Flippin' and floppin',
(C major) sold him for a quarter
(D major) Got drunk, got in jail,
and I'll never catch any again (G major) (C major) (D major) (G major)
Well, one night I took me (C major) and Ocean
to go out (D major) fishing in the middle of
the ocean
He throwed (G major) me out of the line
and got (C major) me a shark
And I (D major) didn't get him
home till way past dark
He (G major) was a man eater, tough (C major) customer
(D major) Just wasn't quite tough
enough (G major) (C major) (D major) (G major)
Well, late last night I had (C major) me a dream
I was (D major) out fishin' in a whiskey stream
And I (G major) baited my hook with (C major) applejack
Threw (D major) out a drink and I
brung a gallon back (G major)
Done pretty good, (C major) till the (D major) creek run dry
I give the fish back to the
finance (G major) company (C major) (D major) (G major) you
