D MajorD            D7D7
Son, you make me feel so proud
G+G              G7G7  G7G7 C majorC
Pop the bottons right off my shirt
D MajorD
I know I promised to take you to the lake today
           A augmentedA          G+G          D MajorD
But I'm gonna have to break that promise, and it really hurts

D MajorD       D7D7     G+G
Everytime I go fishin' it alway starts me wishin'
A augmentedA      G+G  G7G7  D MajorD
That I could be a child again
    G+G        C majorC    D MajorD
Take my fifty cents and go down to the local picture show
E7E7             A augmentedA  A7A7
To watch my heroes rope and ride
   D MajorD           D7D7          G+G       D MajorD
Most times they'd win, but when they'd lose it always made me cry
   G+G        D MajorD          A augmentedA   D MajorD
Ain't nothin' quite as sad as watchin' your heroes die
    F#7F#7       G+G          E minorEm   A augmentedA     D MajorD
One by one, and as they fall, soon there'll be no heroes at all

Solo:
D MajorD D7D7  G+G G7G7 G7G7 C majorC D MajorD A augmentedA G+G D MajorD

Verse:
D MajorD           D7D7
Well I guess the fish just ain't bitin'
G+G                         A augmentedA
And just as well 'cause I don't feel like fightin'
          A7A7             D MajorD  G+G
All in all it just ain't that great a fishin' day
          C majorC    D MajorD                      E7E7
That old newspaper headline kinda wrapped around this old heart of mine
          A augmentedA  A7A7
Another big one got away

   D MajorD             D7D7           G+G         D MajorD
And I can't count the times he's made me laugh, but this time he's made me cry
        G+G        D MajorD          A augmentedA   D MajorD
And there ain't nothin' quite as sad as watchin' your heroes die
    F#7F#7    G+G           E minorEm  A augmentedA     D MajorD
One by one, as they fall, soon there'll be no heroes at all
