Gone Fishin Tab

Gone fishin' -- there's a sign upon your door, 
/#5                               
?Gone fishin'?  -- you ain't workin' anymore. 
                                                        
There's your hoe out in the sun, where you left a row half done; 
                            ° (III)                  °    
You claim that hoein' ain't no    fun -- you ain't got no am - bi - tion. 
 
 
/#5                       
Gone fishin'    by a shady, wady pool; 
/#5                               
I'm wishin'    I could be that kind of fool. 
                                                  
I'd say no more work for mine, on my door I'd hang a sign 
 °                        
?Gone fishin'   instead of just a-wishin'.? 
 
 
/#5                                
Gone fishin' -- there's a sign upon your door, 
/#5                             
?Gone fishin'? --you ain't workin' anymore. 
                                                      
Cows need milkin' in the barn, but you just don't give a darn, 
                    ° (III)                 °    
You just never seem to learn -- you ain't got no am - bi - tion. 
/#5                                 
Gone fishin',   got your hound dog by your side  
/#5                                
Gone fishin',   fleas are bitin' at his hide  
                                                
Got my hat and got my pole, headed for the fishin' hole, 
°                         
Gone fishin'    instead of just a-wishin'.
