   D                            A                         Bm             A
I was fishing last Friday on a lake in Mississippi in the humid summer heat
D                   A                         Bm               A
on a boat with my best friend Cletus who was sleeping in the back seat
          D                           A              Bm          A
well the bites were slow and we were running low on chips and Gatorade
              G
it had been a long hard day
        D                      A                           Bm
felt a tug on the line and I didn't pay attention it was spinning way to
 A
fast
  D        A                         Bm               A
before I knew it I was staring at a ten pound shiny bass
         D                A                       Bm                 A
when I tried to pull the fish inside I pulled a muscle in my upper thigh
       G                    D
I was so scared I threw my rod up in the air
                 A

                 E

                    Bm    D
cause I can't do it on my own
             A                       E
I'm letting go and I need your help bad
                     Bm      D

                   D    A  Bm  A  D  A  G
