Tom : C
C F C
[Verse 1]
C
My baby's been wishing, that I'd take her fishing
F C
So we waited on the perfect day
C
Hitched up my old john boat, to see if it would still float
F C
Should've seen the smile on her face
Dm G
I found a little cove, dropped the lines, to try our luck
Dm G
Before too long she said it's starting to heat up
[Verse 2]
F
So she took off her shirt
G
Said I'll get a little sun
C
Handed me the Coppertone
C
Man I had me some fun
F G
I rubbed it in real good, and I didn't miss a spot
Am G F
And I got to see that little pink bikini top
G C
Cause the fish weren't bitin'
[Verse 3]
C
She said I'll lay out a little, But if we get a nibble
F C
I want to be the one to reel him in
C
I said "baby you got it"
C
We'll tell 'em all you caught it
F C
But you're getting some red there on your skin
C Dm G
So I rubbed her down again, she said baby that feels nice
G Dm G
Won't you lay right here beside me, she didn't have to ask me twice
[Verse 4]
F
I kissed her lips
F G
As the sun went down
C
We lost track of time, As we floated around
F G
That john boat rocked out there in the dark
Am G F
She still claims I stole her heart
G C
Cause the fish weren't bitin'
F G
We still laugh about that little fishing trip we took
Am G F
To this day, she don't know, I didn't bait the hook
[Instrumental]
F G C
[Outro]
F G
You know I love to catch 'em, but brother I won't lie
Am G F G
I had the best day of my life
G C
Cause the fish weren't bitin'
C F C
No, the fish weren't bitin'
