	        Verse 
D        A     D                A 
Carolina time, grab the fishing line 
      D       A            D             A 
Gonna get old Jim with the yellow-backed fly 
G              D      G             D 
Bought it in a store, paid a little more 
      G          D             G             A 
Gonna catch that fish with the yellow-backed fly 

D             A           D       A 
Tried it last June with a lit firefly 
D               A            D            A 
Layed it on the water with a perfect bullseye 
G          D       G         D 
Jim made a splash, gone in a flash 
  G         D       G         A 
Beneath the water I heard him laugh 


        D       G          D 
I go at six am, quiet as a hymn 
                                           A 
Gonna catch old Jim with the Yellow-Backed Fly 
D                      G               D 
Gonna catch him right, gonna catch him quick 
                            C             D 
Take him by surprise at the bottom of the crick 



Bridge 

D                  A          D         A 
He lives beneath a rock, underneath the shade 
D               A             D             A 
I will have him made with the yellow-backed fly 
G            D     G            D 
Here I am at last, lying in the grass 
  G            D             G             A 
A quiet little cast with the yellow-backed fly 


D                       G               D 
Felt a little tug, well Jim had bit the bug 
                                          A 
Then I let him run with the yellow-backed fly 
D                      G             D 
Jumped up on the land, spit it in my hand 
                           C             D 
He said 'Nice try with the yellow-backed fly' 



Bridge 

D             A      D              A 
Then he swam away, I gave him a farewell 
        D     A           D        A 
Now I'm going home with a story to tell 
          G        D             G         D 
I put the truck in gear, I'll be back next year 
      G      D          G           A 
Gonna make a fly with a hypnotizing eye 


        D       G          D 
I go at six am, quiet as a hymn 
                                           A 
Gonna catch old Jim with the yellow-backed fly 
D                   G               D 
Twenty inches long, measured with a stick 
                    C            D 
He's old Jim but to me he's Moby Dick 

        D       G          D 
I go at six am, quiet as a hymn 
                                           A 
Gonna catch old Jim with the yellow-backed fly 
D                   G               D 
Twenty inches long, measured with a stick 
                    C            D 
He's old Jim but to me he's Moby Dick (2x)
