[Db] 4 a.m. comes [Ab] awful early [Db] and I was [Ab] dead on my feet but if you're gonna catch a
biggest [Eb] fish you gotta [Ab] lose a little sleep.
[Eb] Well I packed [Fm] my gear and a couple
beers [Bbm] I hit [Ab] it from my favorite spot but I cursed my luck when I saw his truck
[Eb] right where I pulled off [Fm] was hoping to [Eb] have the river to myself [Db] that day [Ab] cause
the river don't talk the river [Db] don't care where [Ab] you've been what you've done
or why it is [Eb] you're standing there it just [Fm] rolls on by whispering to [Db] your soul
it's gonna be [Ab] alright [Eb] the river [Ab] just knows the [Eb] way [Db] the Sun bounced off the water [Ab]
I
could hardly make him out but I could see he had a fish on a big old rainbow
trout the fight [Db] went on forever and as they headed [Ab] down my way I saw his
military haircut and [Eb] the new scars on his face [Fm] right then I knew [Eb] what brought
