[Intro]
Am7 Em7 Am7 Em7
Am7 Em7 Am7
 
 
[Verse 1]
Am7
The old man he catches the fish in the morning
Am7
He rides the river every day
Am7
I sit on the bank and I holler when he passes
Am7
"Hey, old man, are they biting today?"
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am7
I wake up in the morning, thinking 'bout my troubles
Am7
I go down to the water and they pass away
Am7
And when the old man comes a-floating down the river
Am7
"Hey, old man, are they biting today?"

[Verse 3]
Am7
Now here we've got a thing that keeps on rolling
Am7
It ain't heavy, don't take it that way
Am7
The old man and me, we got a good thing going
Am7
He gets his fish and I sit all day
Am7
He gets his fish and I sit all day
 
 
[Outro]
