[Verse]
C/G
Woke up in the sand with my head about to burst
Am/E
My mouth was so damn dry I thought I'd already died of thirst
Dm Am
By the time I've made it to my knees
Dm Am
the sun was in the west
Fsus2 Gadd11
Another day at the office I guess
C/G
By the time the dark finally overtook the sun
Am/E
I made it to the bench where i met up with the one
Dm Am
whos somehow made some money
Dm Am
and payed for last nights drink
Fsus2 Gadd11
he said "you need a shower man, you stink"
C/G
We waited for the wrecking crew that showed up in good time
Am/E
sat along the bench, needing food and drinking wine
Dm Am
"man this stuff smells like vinegar"
Dm Am
I said and then i drank
Fsus2 Gadd11
my name is Bill but they call me Hank
[Chorus]
C
They call me Hank
Am
I live by the river
Fsus2
I fish for whatever
Gadd11
I can sell
C
They call me Hank
Am
I live by the river
Fsus2
I fish for whatever
Gadd11
I can sell
C/G
They call me Hank
{Verse]
C/G
I got up to leave, said "i'm going home to sleep"
Am/E
but on my way i stopped into the bar on morgan street
Dm Am
its the last bar in town
Dm Am
that lets me in the door
Fsus2 Gadd11
to be honest with you, i dont know what for
C/G
I guess they know that sometimes i pay part of my bill
Am/E
if i sell a catfish to the store on suthers hill
Dm Am
I bring them what I can
Dm Am
and they serve me up a beer
Fsus2 Gadd11
and they ask me "Hank, how'd you end up here?"
C/G
I tell them it was easy, "it's right on my way home"
Am/E
they laugh and say they know more about me than I let on
Dm Am
they know I had a wife
Dm Am
and a son who lost his way
Fsus2 Gadd11
and they know I turned up just about that day
[Chorus]
C
They call me Hank
Am
I live by the river
Fsus2
I fish for whatever
Gadd11
I can sell
C
They call me Hank
Am
I live by the river
Fsus2
I fish for whatever
Gadd11

C/G

C/G
My homes' not much to look at, but it holds all that i need;
Am/E
a bed with some old sleeping bag I found last christmas eve
Dm Am
a rockin chair, a table,
Dm Am
a spoon, a plate,a bowl
Fsus2 Gadd11
and of course, my trusty fishing pole
C/G
But the finest thing I own is my little wooden boat
Am/E
it keeps my mind from wandering, it keeps my life afloat
Dm Am
it takes me down the river
Dm Am
where the biggest catfish lay
Fsus2 Gadd11
and it also keeps my memories at bay
[Chorus]
C
They call me Hank
Am
I live by the river
Fsus2
