Johnny's daddy was taking him fishing when he was eight years old.
A little girl came through the front gate holding a fishing pole.
[Bm] His dad [C] looked down and smiled [Bm] and said,
We can't leave [C] her behind.
[Am] Son, I know [G] you don't want her to go.
[C] Someday you'll change [G] your mind.
And Johnny said, Take Jimmy Johnson.
Take Tommy Thompson.
Take my best friend Bo.
Take anybody that you want.
And as long as she don't go, take any boy [Am] in the world.
[G] Daddy, please don't take the [C] girl.
[G] [C]
[G] [C] [G]
Same old boy, same sweet girl.
Ten years down the road,
He held her tight and kissed her lips in front of the picture show.
[Bm] Stranger came [C] and pulled a gun, [Bm] grabbed her by [C] the arm.
[Am] Said, If you do [G] what I tell you to, there won't be any harm.
And Johnny said, Take my money.
[C] Take my [G] wallet.
Take my credit cards.
Here's the watch that my grandpa gave me.
Here's the key to my car.
Mister, give [Am] it a whirl.
[Em] But please [D]
don't [G] take the [C] girl.
[G] [C]
[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 says [C] the baby's fine, [Bm] but you'll have [C] to leave.
[Am] Rose, his mama [G] stayed in bed.
[C] Johnny hit his [D] knees and there he [G] prayed.
Take the very breath you gave me.
Take the heart from my chest.
I'll gladly take her place if you'll let me.
Make this my last request.
Take me out of [Am] this world.
God, [Em] please [D]
don't take [G] the girl.

[G] Johnny's daddy was taking him fishing when he was eight years old.
