Chords with lyrics
Verse 1:
D MajorD
I took a short vacation to the Gulf of Mexico
D MajorD
Everyday I'd see this fellow with his tackle box and pole
G+G
And he'd fish, and he'd fish
D MajorD
All day long
D MajorD
So one day I went out walking and when I got down to his spot
D MajorD
Me and him we got to talking I said have you ever thought
G+G
About what you are gonna do
D/AD/A
with your life?
Pre-Chorus:
A augmentedA G+G
I said I'm about to share with you my secret to success
G+G A augmentedA
So you can go make something of yourself
Chorus:
G+G
You can sell these fish you're catching You can buy yourself a boat
D MajorD
Hard work and dedication and the next thing that you know
G+G
If you reinvest your money you'll be captain of the fleet
A augmentedA
You'll be sitting pretty down on easy street

You can do anything that you wish

Verse 2:
D MajorD
His simple words of wisdom hit me right between the eyes
D MajorD
And it really got me thinking about the way I live my life
G+G
Cause I'd just work And I'd work
D MajorD
All day long
D MajorD
So I asked myself a question that I knew the answer to
D MajorD
Is success a second mortgage on a big house with a pool?
G+G
Or is it a chair and salty air
D MajorD
wetting the line
Pre-Chorus:
A augmentedA G+G
That advice I tried to give him to take him to the top
G+G A augmentedA
Is really nothing more than just a crock
Chorus:
G+G
You can sell these fish you're catching You can buy yourself a boat

If you reinvest your money you'll be captain of the fleet

A augmentedA G+G
So I went and bought some tackle and a bucket full of bait
A augmentedA G+G G7G7
You can find here most everyday with my chair sitting there next to him
