Verse 
     C                 C7 
Well grandpa gave me a fishin pole and  
F              D 
We never had a fishin hole  
C                                            G 
Down on the farm that really didn’t matter to us  
C                   C7 
We’d sit out on the old front porch  
F                        D 
With a rusty can full of kernel corn  
C               G                   C 
Bait ‘er up and cast ‘er out in the dust
