D D7
Son, you make me feel so proud
G G7 G7 C
Pop the bottons right off my shirt
D
I know I promised to take you to the lake today
A G D
But I'm gonna have to break that promise, and it really hurts
D D7 G
Everytime I go fishin' it alway starts me wishin'
A G G7 D
That I could be a child again
G C D
Take my fifty cents and go down to the local picture show
E7 A A7
To watch my heroes rope and ride
D D7 G D
Most times they'd win, but when they'd lose it always made me cry
G D A D
Ain't nothin' quite as sad as watchin' your heroes die
F#7 G Em A D
One by one, and as they fall, soon there'll be no heroes at all
[Solo]
D D7 G G7 G7 C D A G D
[Verse]
D D7
Well I guess the fish just ain't bitin'
G A
And just as well 'cause I don't feel like fightin'
A7 D G
All in all it just ain't that great a fishin' day
C D E7
That old newspaper headline kinda wrapped around this old heart of mine
A A7
Another big one got away
D D7 G D
And I can't count the times he's made me laugh, but this time he's made me cry
G D A D
And there ain't nothin' quite as sad as watchin' your heroes die
F#7 G Em A D
One by one, as they fall, soon there'll be no heroes at all
[Outro]
D D7 G G7 A D
