   C                            F                         Am             F
I was fishing last Friday on a lake in Mississippi in the humid summer heat 
C                   F                         Am               F
on a boat with my best friend Cletus who was sleeping in the back seat 
          C                           F              Am          F
well the bites were slow and we were running low on chips and Gatorade 
              F
it had been a long hard day 
        C                      F                           Am
felt a tug on the line and I didn't pay attention it was spinning way to  
 F
fast 
  C        F                         Am               F
before I knew it I was staring at a ten pound shiny bass 
         C                F                       Am                 F
when I tried to pull the fish inside I pulled a muscle in my upper thigh 
       F                    C
I was so scared I threw my rod up in the air 
                 F

                     Am      C
