[G#] That was not so bad, that was not so bad [D] was it?
That was not so bad, that was not so bad was it?
Gonna do [E] the two step and cowboy boogie
Grab your sweetheart and spin out with him
Do the hoedown and get into it
Take it to the left now and dip it with it
Don't throw down, take a sip with it
Now lean back, [A] put your hips in [E] it
[Dm] [G] [Cm] [G]
[C] [G] [C] [G]
Johnny's daddy [Em] was taking [G] him fishing
When he was eight years old
Little girl came through the front gate
Holding a fishing pole
And [Bm] his dad [C] looked down and smiled
[Bm] Said we can't leave her [C]
behind
[Am] Son I know you [G] don't want her to go
[C] But someday you'll change your [D]
mind
And Johnny [G] said
Jimmy Thompson, take Tommy Thompson
Take my best friend Bo
Take anybody that you want
As long as she don't go
Take any boy in [Am] the world
[G] Daddy [C] please [G]
don't take the [C] girl
[G] [C] Sing [G] [C] [G]
my boy, sing sweet girl
Sing you down the road
He held her tight and kissed her lips
In front of the picture show
[Bm] Stranger came in [C] full day gun
[Bm] Wrapped her [C] by the arms
[Am] Said if you do as I [G] tell you to
There won't be any harm
And Johnny said
Take my money, take my wallet
Take my credit card
Here's the watch that my grandpa gave me
Here's the key to my car
Mr.
Gibby the [Am] world Oh no
[C] But please [G]
[D] don't [G] take the girl That's [C] all
[G] [C] [G]
Same old boy, same sweet girl
Five years down the road
There's gonna be a little one
And she says it's time to go
[Bm] Doctor said [C] the baby's fine
[Bm] But you [C] have to leave
[Am] She says mama [G] is fading fast
[C] Johnny hit [G] his knees
And there he prayed
Say the very breath you gave me
Take the heart from my chest
I'll gladly take her place
If you let me
Make this my last request
Take me out of [Am] this world [C] God please
[D] Don't take [G] the [C] girl
[G]
[C] Johnny's [G] [C] [G]
daddy was taking him fishing
When he was five years old
Yeah man, [Em] yeah man
Oh that's a dream!
Yeah man
That was awesome!
[F#]
Golly, you lit that song up!
[G#m] And like when I first [A] heard the song
and I heard Johnny's [N] daddy was taking him fishing
I was just like, [E] oh this is amazing!
And I never knew what the song meant
[B] Then when I reviewed it again
[F#] and [C#] listened over and over again
I was just like, oh man
this song is so deep and full of purpose
And [A] then I decided to make my whole life about purpose
and don't make [E] my freak circumstances be my [D] reality
And it all started with him
Oh man, that's so awesome That's awesome
Hey, big fan man
[N] Let's do some more work together
Let's do it, let's
