[Em] _ _ _ [Gm] Now some folks [Dm] say, [G] fishing on Sunday's a [D] sin. _ _
_ _ [C] If a fish [E] bite my line on a Sunday morning, [Em] really morning, _ _

_ [D] Boys, I [F#] got to [C] go fishing. _
What's _ [G] anchoring life? _ _
[G] Talking about, [A] talking [G] about fish, fish, fish, fish, [A#] fish, fish, fishing.
[Em] _
_ [D] We ought [C] to go [E] fishing. _
_ Want to [G] ease my mind. _ _
_ [G] _ [B] Yes, I live the life I sing [F#] about in my [C] song.
I'm crazy about [D] fishing.
It's a wonderful [D] thing.
You got to figure, [C#] in the [E] first place, any time you're [C] fishing, you ain't working.
[E] So it's got to be [Em] good.
But, [G] you know, some people ain't into [Bm] it.
_ Take Daddy Ray, our _ [Dm] saxophone player.
The closest I ever seen [D] him to fishing was [E] when I caught him coming out of [C#m] the safeway [C] with a bag full of catfish fillets.
Plus, [Em] he thinks he's an expert.
He told me, Elvin, don't [C] ever take a woman fishing.
He says, bad luck [B] to take a woman fishing.
Are you with [D] me, fellas?
That's what he said.
He said, don't take your sister, don't take your [C] mama, don't take your wife, and don't take your girlfriend.
[D] Bad luck to take a woman fishing.
I [G] told him, Ray, [Dm] as far as I'm concerned, it's good luck to take a woman [C] anyplace.
And this other [C#] dude I know, he's the [Dm] type of guy that sits in front of a [Am] computer at work all [D] day,
and then when he comes [C] home, he sits in [E] front of the computer some more.
[E] Every once in a while, he'll [Em] get out and pay $50 [G] or $100,
[G] stay out there playing golf all day, [B] and come back without a damn [Bm] thing to eat.
[C] He paid [G] $200 [F#] for a tennis [D] racket and a little cute [C] pair of [E] shorts and a headband.
[C] And the [Gm] worst thing, he told [G] me, Bishop, I set off for it, I [D] set off for it.
The man came on TV, and I had my pencil and [G] my paper and my credit card.
[D] It didn't cost me [Em] $279.
I [D] set off for that exercise equipment.
[C#m] What did you do that for?
He [E] said, because the man said it would give me a [G] flat tummy.
He said, you know, girls like a guy with a flat tummy.
I said, you didn't have to do all that.
Go [C#] fishing with me.
He said, I wouldn't [G] know how to go about [E] it.
I told him, there ain't nothing to it.
You'll [C] love it.
[E] I'm just going to explain a couple of technical terms to you here,
[D] where you can understand what I'm [G] talking about.
All you got to do is get together [Em] about three [D] or four old, [C] no good,
no count, [Dm] beer [A] drinking, not [D]
temporarily unemployed,
[C] but the type of [E] dudes that won't work.
The term for that is your [G] fishing buddy.
[Bm] Fishing butts.
_ _ [G] Okay, now pile them in the car and go on by the store and get you some bait
[F#] and some beer and [D] head on out to the fishing hole [C] and get them [E] lines in the water.
As [C] the fishing bites [F#] flow, you can always take [Dm] turns telling a few [B] jokes,
tell a few lies, have a good [G] time.
Have a couple more [Em] beers and get [C] mellow.
Get relaxed.
[B] Get sloppy.
[D] Drop your pole in the water.
[C] Get the bait all [E] over.
And if you don't catch any fish, we got a technical [D] term for that too.
You just [Bm] got skunked, [Dm] that's all.
Go on [G] home [Dm] and bust in all loud and knock over [C] the lamp
and kick up against the coffee table [D] and cuss and everything.
And when your woman comes out [C] of that back [E] bedroom to see what in the [C] world is going on
[D] in her house at [D] 4.30 in the morning,
and there you stand wobbling and [G] stinking and no [Em] fish to show, be a man.
Tell [D] her, honey, fix me something to eat. _
And [C] partner, if you do just like I told you, I [F#] guarantee you [G] will go to bed with a flat stomach.
Take my [D] pole and my jug down to the [G] river I'm going to set up on the [C] bank. _
_ [D] Every [Bm] time fish start to nibble [Em] I'm going to take me [D] another drink.
I'm [G] going fish, fish, [Gm] fish, [D] fish, fish, [Bm] fish, fishing.
_ _ [D] _ I got to [C] go fishing.
_ _ _ Look, sinker [Em] in line.
_ _ [G] _ _ [G] _ _
Fish, fish, [E] [D] fish, fish, fish, [Bm] fish, fishing.
[A] _ _ [D] _ Boys, we better [C] go fishing.
_ _ _ Want to eat [G] my mind.
