Gone Fishin by Louis Armstrong

A7/#5  D6     B7            Em7            A7 
Gone fishin' -- there's a sign upon your door, 
A7/#5    D6     B7            Em7         A7 
?Gone fishin'?  -- you ain't workin' anymore. 
             D               D7            G               Gm7 
There's your hoe out in the sun, where you left a row half done; 
               E7             F° (III)      A       Em7     C°   A7 
You claim that hoein' ain't no    fun -- you ain't got no am - bi - tion. 
 
 
A7/#5  D6     B7       G     B7   A7 
Gone fishin'    by a shady, wady pool; 
A7/#5  D6    B7         G       G/F#     Em   A7 
I'm wishin'    I could be that kind of fool. 
        D                D7           G              Gm7 
I'd say no more work for mine, on my door I'd hang a sign 
 E°  D     B7     Em7     A7      D 
?Gone fishin'   instead of just a-wishin'.? 
 
 
A7/#5  D6     B7            Em7            A7 
Gone fishin' -- there's a sign upon your door, 
A7/#5  D6     B7            Em7         A7 
?Gone fishin'? --you ain't workin' anymore. 
           D              D7            G                Gm7 
Cows need milkin' in the barn, but you just don't give a darn, 
         E7           F° (III)     A       Em7     C°   A7 
You just never seem to learn -- you ain't got no am - bi - tion. 
A7/#5  D6     B7           G        B7      A7 
Gone fishin',   got your hound dog by your side  
A7/#5  D6     B7           G     G/F#     Em   A7 
Gone fishin',   fleas are bitin' at his hide  
        D              D7           G              Gm7 
Got my hat and got my pole, headed for the fishin' hole, 
E°  D      B7    Em7      A7      D6 
Gone fishin'    instead of just a-wishin'.
