INTRO
E A E A
This ain't no lie
VERSE:
E
Saved all my birthday money up
A
Put it down on a rod and reel
E
I got my green and tan Plano loaded up
A
Permission to fish behind that old sawmill
E
Momma said, "Watch for snakes"
E
Daddy said, "Shut the gate"
A
Brother said, "They're biting on the zoom black and red flake"
E
Laying in the bed that night
A
I swear I could barely sleep
CHORUS:
A N.C.
'Cause all I ever wanted to be
E
Was Bill Dance
E
Fishing for a living
A
Saturday morning on television
E D
A Georgia boy learning how to hook big bass
A
From a large mouth legend in a Tennessee hat
E
Taught me how to tie 'em on
E
Taught me how to take 'em off
A
Taught me how to catch 'em when they said they couldn't be caught
E D A
Nobody ever had to worry about me
A N.C
'Cause all I ever wanted to be
E A
Was Bill Dance
VERSE;
E
While other boys were playing ball and knocking heads
A
I was floating on the Muckalee
E
While rebel kids were smoking, stealing cigarettes
A
I was fishing in them cypress trees
E
Paddle and a Jon Boat, nine pound, no joke
A
Got him in the net cause I didn't get my line broke
E
Using every trick in the book
A
Daddy ever taught me
CHORUS:
A
'Cause all I ever wanted to be
E
Was Bill Dance
E
Fishing for a living
A
Saturday morning on television
E D
A Georgia boy learning how to hook big bass
A
From a large mouth legend in a Tennessee hat
E
Taught me how to tie 'em on
E
Taught me how to take 'em off
A
Taught me how to catch 'em when they said they couldn't be caught
E D A
Nobody ever had to worry about me
A
'Cause all I ever wanted to be
E D A
Was Bill Dance
BREAK:
F#m E A
There's a lot of heroes out there these days
F#m E A
But if you ask me mine, there's only one name I'll say
CHORUS:
E
Bill Dance, fishing for a living
A
Saturday morning on television
E
A Georgia boy learning how to hook big bass
A
From the best damn fisherman the world's ever had
E
Taught me how to tie 'em on
E
Taught me how to take 'em off
A
Taught me how to catch 'em when they said they couldn't be caught
E D A
Nobody ever had to worry about me
A
'Cause all I ever wanted to be (all I ever wanted to be)
E A
Was Bill Dance
E A
Bill Dance
OUTRO:
E A
Yeah, the sun is just starting to shine up over the treetops
E D A
It's gonna be a beautiful day, it's plain to see
