Intro: G D G D C G

G                       C 
I had me a highschool sweetheart,
D                       G
With big time wedding plans
G                       C 
Then I signed up with the Navy,
D                       G
Went to work for Uncle Sam


G                       C 
Eighteen lonely months Ive waited,
D                       G
To see her again
G                       C 
When I got home to Gainsville,
D                       G
She married my best friend



Chorus:

                  C
Whats it got to say
                  G
Whats it got to do
        D
I can paint this whole town red tonight,
           G                G7
And still wake up with the blues
                        C
Good luck is bound to find me,
                    Em      C
If it comes around again,
                        G       D
But Ill probably be out fishing,
                    G
When my ship comes in


 G D G D C G


G                       C 
Took a job down at the saw mill,
D                       G
Where I work hard everyday
G                       C 
Climb that corporate ladder,
D                       G
I was promoted with a big ol raise
G                       C 
The very next morning they told me,
D                       G
That old saw mill had been sold
G                       C 
Someones gonna take your position boy,
D                       G
They wrote me off and sent me home


Chorus:

                  C
Whats it got to say
                  G
Whats it got to do
        D
I can paint this whole town red tonight,
           G                G7
And still wake up with the blues
                        C
Good luck is bound to find me,
                    Em      C
If it comes around again,
                        G       D
But Ill probably be out fishing,
                    Em  C
When my ship comes in



                        G       D
But Ill probably be out fishing,
                    G   D C G
When my ship comes in
