Cletus Take The Reel by Tim Hawkins

   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
Cletus take the reel 
                 E
take it from my hand 
                    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
and if you don't my fish is gone 
                   D    A  Bm  A  D  A  G

               A
oh I'm letting go 
                      E
and I need your help bad 
                     Bm      D
and if you don't my fish is gone 
         Bm      D
on this boat I'm on 
                 A   Bm

A           D           A
