Fish

Tom : D
D
I took a short vacation to the Gulf of Mexico
D
Everyday I'd see this fellow with his tackle box and pole
G
And he'd fish, and he'd fish
D
All day long
D
So one day I went out walking and when I got down to his spot
D
Me and him we got to talking I said have you ever thought
G
About what you are gonna do
D/A
with your life?

[Pre-Chorus]
A G
I said I'm about to share with you my secret to success
G A
So you can go make something of yourself

[Chorus]
G
You can sell these fish you're catching You can buy yourself a boat
D
Hard work and dedication and the next thing that you know
G
If you reinvest your money you'll be captain of the fleet
A
You'll be sitting pretty down on easy street
G G7
You can do anything that you wish
D/A D/G D/F# D/E
He said you mean fish?

[Verse 2]
D
His simple words of wisdom hit me right between the eyes
D
And it really got me thinking about the way I live my life
G
Cause I'd just work And I'd work
D
All day long
D
So I asked myself a question that I knew the answer to
D
Is success a second mortgage on a big house with a pool?
G
Or is it a chair and salty air
D
wetting the line

[Pre-Chorus]
A G
That advice I tried to give him to take him to the top
G A
Is really nothing more than just a crock

[Chorus]
[Bridge]
A G
So I went and bought some tackle and a bucket full of bait
A G G7
You can find here most everyday with my chair sitting there next to him
D
And we'd just fish
D
Yeah, we'd just fish
D/A D/G D/F# D/E
yeah fish fish fish fish fish
