[Verse 1]
[A7#5] [D6] [B7] [Em7] [A7]
Gone fishin' — there's a sign upon your door
[A7#5] [D6] [B7] [Em7] [A7]
Gone fishin' — you ain't workin' anymore
[D] [D7] [G] [Gm7]
There's your hoe out in the sun, where you left a row half done
[E7] [Fdim] [A] [Em7] [Cdim] [A7]
You claim that hoein' ain't no fun — you ain't got no ambition
[Verse 2]
[A7#5] [D6] [B7] [G] [B7] [A7]
Gone fishin' by a shady, wady pool
[A7#5] [D6] [B7] [G] [G/F#] [Em] [A7]
I'm wishin' I could be that kind of fool
[D] [D7] [G] [Gm7]
I'd say no more work for mine, on my door I'd hang a sign
[Edim] [D] [B7] [Em7] [A7] [D]
Gone fishin' instead of just a-wishin'
[Verse 3]
[A7#5] [D6] [B7] [Em7] [A7]
Gone fishin' — there's a sign upon your door
[A7#5] [D6] [B7] [Em7] [A7]
Gone fishin' — you ain't workin' anymore
[D] [D7] [G] [Gm7]
Cows need milkin' in the barn, but you just don't give a darn
[E7] [Fdim] [A] [Em7] [Cdim] [A7]
You just never seem to learn — you ain't got no ambition
[Verse 4]
[A7#5] [D6] [B7] [G] [B7] [A7]
Gone fishin', got your hound dog by your side
[A7#5] [D6] [B7] [G] [G/F#] [Em] [A7]
Gone fishin', fleas are bitin' at his hide
[D] [D7] [G] [Gm7]
Got my hat and got my pole, headed for the fishin' hole
[Edim] [D] [B7] [Em7] [A7] [D6]
Gone fishin' instead of just a-wishin'
