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
oh Cletus take the reel
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
Cletus take the reel
A D A

Bm A Bm - A
Oh whaaaa ooooh......
