[G] [C] [G] [C] [G] [D]
[G] [C] [G] [G]
I've been thinking lately about the people I meet
The car wash on the [D] corner and the hole in the [G] street
The way my ankles hurt with shoes on my feet
And I'm wondering if I'm gonna see tomorrow
Father forgive us for what we must [C] do
[G] You forgive [D] us, we'll forgive [G] you
We'll forgive each [C] other till we both turn [G] blue
Then we'll [D] whistle and go [G] fishing in heaven
I [C] [G] [C] [G] [D] [G]
[C] [G] [D] [G]
was in the army but I never dug a [C] trench
Used [G] to bust my [D] knuckles on a monkey wrench
[G] I'd go to town and [C] drink, give the girls a [G] pinch
But I don't [D] think they [G] ever even noticed me
Father forgive us for what we must do
[C] You [G] forgive [D] us, we'll forgive you
[G] We'll forgive each other till we both turn blue
[D] Then we'll whistle and go fishing [G] in heaven
[D] Fish and whistle, whistle and fish
[G] Eat everything that you put on your dish
[C] And when we get through [G] we'll make a big wish
[A] That we never have to do [D] this again Again, again
[G] On the very first job I [C] said thank [G] you and please
They made me scrub a parking [D] lot down on my [G] knees
Then I got fired [C] for being scared of bees
[G] And they only gave me 50 cents an hour
Father forgive us for what we must do
You forgive us, [D] we'll forgive you
[G] We'll forgive each other [C] till we both turn blue
[G] Then we'll whistle [D] and go fishing [G] in heaven
Fish [C]
[G] [C] [G] [D] [G] [C]
[G] [D] [G] [D] and whistle, whistle and fish
[G] Eat everything that you put on your dish
[C] And when we get through [G] we'll make a big wish
[A] That we never have to do [D] this again Again, again
Oh, [G] father forgive us for what we must do
You forgive us, [D] we'll forgive you
[G] We'll forgive each other [C] till we both turn blue
[G] Then we'll whistle [G] and go fishing in heaven
[D] We'll whistle and go fishing [G] in heaven
[D] We'll whistle and go fishing [G] in heaven
