[Verse 1]
 D                            Em
Leaves are turnin, ther's a chill in
 the air.
 G                           D
Campfires are burnin, we're gathered
 round in chairs.
 D                    Em
Three generations of huntin in our 
veins.
  C                           G   
Talkin bout what might happen,    
              D
on openin day.


[Verse 2]
 D                                 
Weather man's callin for southwest 
              Em
winds. Gonna have to change my 
plans.
         G                 
Guess I won't be Huntin the 
                      D
powerline, I'm Movin to the boat 
seat stand.
  D                          Em
Sighted in my rifle and she sure is 
shootin straight.
         C                       
But I'll meet up with the jitters 
       G                   D

[Chorus]
 D
I've been workin all summer and it's
 sure been hot.
Continues after the ad
 C
Tractor tore up but I planted my 
plot.
 G                             
Deer trail runnin through there 
               D
looks like a highway.
 D
I got my heart set on that drop tine
 buck.
 C
There's plenty of room in the back 
of my truck.
 G                                 
It's been a long year but it's 
                A               
gonna be worth the wait.    It's 
        D
openin day.


[Verse 3]
 D                      Em
4 AM came early and we chugged that 
coffee down.
 G                                 
Headed to the stand with my little 
            D
man and he didn't make a sound.
 D                           C
Sat there till 9:15 and ole drop 
tine didn't show.
       G                       
Saw a couple of squirrels a fat 
             C         D
racoon a possum and a doe.
 C                                 
Then out of the blue came a 
                G
cow-horn spike and my little boy 
started to shake.
        C                          
But he manned up and took his very 
           G
first buck,   on openin day.
