a.m. comes awful early,
and I was dead on my feet

You gotta lose a little sleep

Wish open to have the river

to myself that day

It's gonna be alright,

Verse 3
G 
C 
The way the sun bounced
off the water
I couldn't wholely make him out
G 
But I could see he had a fish on
A big ole rainbow trout
C 
The fight went on forever
And as he headed down my way, I saw his
G 
Military hair cut and the new
D 
scars on his face
Em 
Right then I knew what
D 
C 
brought him to this place

And it caused to back the line

But I think that river said
C 
it best on its own
