Key: G
Introduction:
G C G
I been thinking lately about the people I meet
C G D
The carwash on the corner and the hole in the street
G C
The way my ankles hurt with shoes on my feet
G D G
And I'm wondering if I'm gonna see tom orrow
G C G
Father forgive us for what we must do
C G D
You forgive us we'll forget you
G C
We'll forgive each other till we both turn blue
G D G
Then we'll whistle and go fishing in Heaven
Instrumental
G C G
I was in the army but I never dug a trench
C G D
I used to bust my knuckles on a monkey wrench
G C
Then I'd go to town and drink and give the girls a pinch
G D G
But I don't think they ever even noticed me
(Repeat Chorus)
D
Fish and whistle
Whistle and fish
G
Eat every thing that they put on your dish
C G
And when we get through we'll make a big wish
A7 D7
That we never have to do this again
Again? Again???
G C G
On my very first job I said "thank you" and "please"
C G D
They made me scrub a parking lot down on my knees
G C
Then I got fired for being scared of bees
G D G
And they only give me fifty cents and hour
Repeat Chorus
D
Fish and whistle
Whistle and fish
G
Eat every thing that they put on your dish
C G
And when we get through we'll make a big wish
A7 D7
That we never have to do this again
Again? Again???
G D G
We'll whistle and go fishing in Heaven
G D G
We'll whistle and go fishing in Heaven
