           G            D    Em         C 
I've got a halibut boat, the opening is over 
    G                 Am          C            D 
The fish just weren't biting, our catch is way down 
      C         D            Em            C 
We're salvagers now, there's logs that are waiting 
   G            Am           C            D 
We pull 'em off shore and we sell them in town 


C D And we'll snap the line tight C G Haul them away C D Snap the line tight Am D She's rocking, she's free C D Snap the line tight C G Haul them away C Em D And slide 'em off into the sea

C D And we'll snap the line tight C G Haul them away C D Snap the line tight Am D She's rocking, she's free C D Snap the line tight C G Haul them away C Em D And slide 'em off into the sea C D We'll snap the line tight C G Haul them away C D Snap the line tight Am D She's rocking, she's free C D Snap the line tight C G Haul them away C Em D And slide 'em off into the sea C D We'll snap the line tight C G Haul them away C D Snap the line tight Am D She's rocking, she's free C D Snap the line tight C G Haul them away C Em D And slide 'em off into the sea C D We'll snap the line tight C G Haul them away C D Snap the line tight Am D She's rocking, she's free C D Snap the line tight C G Haul them away C Em D And slide 'em off into the sea
