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 C G D G C G D G 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?

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 Instrumental G C G C G D G C G D G 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?
