A Song About Fishing

F#                          B
The mud in my fingers had dried to a crust
F#                   B
Sleep in my eyes, I pick my rust
    F#                         B
My boots have been ravaged in browns and grays, I've
G#m                        B
Seen no scales and I've, seen no pay
     F#                    B
But still I trudge to the spotless stream
       F#                   B
Not a bird in the sky or a fish in the sea
F#                       B
To dwell in these waters is a foolish way
     G#m                    B
To believe one night, I'll win the day

F#                  B
Rise and shine, to dawn I wake
    F#               B
To cast my net in a fishless lake
 F#                 B
Rise and shine, to dawn I wake
 G#m                 B
Casting my net in a fishless lake

F#
Each day like a retake
B
Fisherman inside a sweepstake
F#
Each day like a retake
B
Fisherman inside a sweepstake
F#
Each day like a retake
B
Fisherman inside a sweepstake
G#m
Each day like a retake
B
Fisherman inside a sweepstake

F#                       B
I sailed down stream to see what had I
 F#              B
Pulled my boat along the land I
 F#                  B
Swam the dirt, and walked the stream and
G#m               B
Off the shore, I saw a bream and
F#              B
Tuna too, and salmon roe
       F#                  B
Do my eyes deceive, but my net had broke
   F#                 B
I told my tale to a merchant man
     G#m                     B
He pittied me a dollar, and gave me his hand, he said

F#                  B
Rise and shine, to dawn I wake
F#                    B
To cast my net in a fishless lake
F#                  B
Rise and shine, to dawn I wake
G#m                   B
Casting my net in a fishless lake

F#
Each day like a retake
B
Fisherman inside a sweepstake
F#
Each day like a retake
B
Fisherman inside a sweepstake
F#
Each day like a retake
B
Fisherman inside a sweepstake
G#m
Each day like a retake
B
Fisherman inside a sweepstake

F#                  B
Rise and shine, to dawn I wake
F#                    B
To cast my net in a fishless lake
F#                   B
Rise and shine, to dawn I wake
G#m                   B
Casting my net in a fishless lake

F# B  F# B  F# B  G#m B
