D D7

Son, you make me feel so proud

G G7 G7-C

Pop the bottons right off my shirt

D

I know I promised to take you to the lake today

A G D

But I'm gonna have to break that promise, and it really hurts

D D7 G

Everytime I go fishin' it alway starts me wishin'

A G G7 D

That I could be a child again

G C D

Take my fifty cents and go down to the local picture show

E7 A A7

To watch my heroes rope and ride

D D7 G D

Most times they'd win, but when they'd lose it always made me cry

G D A D

Ain't nothin' quite as sad as watchin' your heroes die

F#7 G Em A D

One by one, and as they fall, soon there'll be no heroes at all

SOLO: D D7 G G7 G7-C D A G D

(spoken):

D D7

Well I guess the fish just ain't bitin'

G A

And just as well 'cause I don't feel like fightin'

A7 D G

All in all it just ain't that great a fishin' day

C D E7

That old newspaper headline kinda wrapped around this old heart of mine

A A7

Another big one got away

D D7 G D

And I can't count the times he's made me laugh, but this time he's made me cry

G D A D

And there ain't nothin' quite as sad as watchin' your heroes die

F#7 G Em A D

One by one, as they fall, soon there'll be no heroes at all

OUTRO: D D7 G G7-A D
