Capo: 2nd fret
[Verse 1]
Am
Been on the lake more times this month then all last year combined
Am
Didn't think much of it till he stayed out there all night
Dm
So I drove out to Percy Priest found him kissing some blond in his back seat
Am
Had an epiphany
Am
Told myself that I
E D7
Had to teach that good old boy a lesson when the sun got setting
[Chorus]
Am
He's gone fishing out in the dark
Am
Wasn't hard to fit him in the trunk of my car
Dm
Had to scrub down the dock and his tackle box
Dm
Used a whole damn gallon of Clorox
Am
He's gone fishing I'm at the bar
Am
Perfect alibi drinking PBR
Dm
Nobody even knows he's missing, Bet he's wishing
G D/F# Am
He'd never gone fishing
[Verse 2]
Am
I'll give it a couple day and then I'll call the cops
Am
Say that I ain't seen him since he walked out with his zebco rod
Dm
Try to cry a tear or two when I'm interviewed on the local news
Am
Join the search crew beg em not to call it off
E D7
Do anything a heartbroke wife would do
Except tell the truth
[Chorus]
Am
He's gone fishing out in the dark
Am
Wasn't hard to fit him in the trunk of my car
Dm
Had to scrub down the dock and his tackle box
Dm
Used a whole damn gallon of Clorox
Am
He's gone fishing I'm at the bar
Am
Perfect alibi drinking PBR
Dm
Nobody even knows he's missing, Bet he's wishing
G D/F# Am
He'd never gone fishing
[Bridge]
A7
It's a real small town
A7
I'm sure I'll see that blond around
E7
I wouldn't be suprised if out of the blue
D7 D7 G
Turns out she's gone fishing too
[Chorus]
Am
He's gone fishing out in the dark
Am
Wasn't hard to fit him in the trunk of my car
Dm
Had to scrub down the dock and his tackle box
Dm
Used a whole damn gallon of Clorox
Am
He's gone fishing I'm at the bar
Am
Perfect alibi drinking PBR
Dm
Nobody even knows he's missing, Bet he's wishing
G D/F# Am
He'd never gone fishing
Am
I bet he's wishing
Am
Wishing he'd never gone fishing
Am
I bet he's wishing
Am
Wishing he'd never gone fishing
