Chords for Lesson fish and whistle

_ _ _ _ _ Hey everybody, this is going to be a John Prine
lesson on how to play his song fish and whistle
I've got my capo on the third fret and the chords are pretty straightforward
There are the chord positions anyway, it's a C [Ab] an F [Bb] a G
And [E] there's a d7 [F] in there
_ _ so [C] C F
_ [F] G and a [N] d7 are the chords that you use and
_ There's one spot in there
During the chorus where you do this you're on G, but you actually pinch the one in the four [Bb] strings _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
You'll recognize it [N] when we get to it.
So anyway _
I'll just start singing it and it's pretty simple.
You'll be should be able to follow my [Eb] fingerings
_ [Ab] C F
_ [F] You can if you [Ab] just watch my hands [Bb] close, _ _
[E] that'd be the [F] G
_ [Eb] That's a d7 was what [F] I'm playing.
_ So
_ _ [Eb] _ _
[Ab] _ [A] John Prine has kind of a
_ really recognizable
_ Style, he does a lot [Fm] of hammerings on his chords and his chord changes [Eb] just _
[Cm] like that
[Eb] _ _ _ So that's I'm just playing a C chord [E] there, but [D] I hammer to get started
[Eb] _
_ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [B] so what I did [N] there was I went from a C to an F back to a C and
And as you're changing the chord you do it all just start singing it and we'll go from there
_ [Eb] I've been thinking lately about the people I meet
The car wash on the corner [Bb] and the hole in the street
[Eb] The way my ankles hurt [Ab] with the shoes on my feet
[Bb] Wondering if I'm gonna [Eb] see them all
_ Father forgive us for what we must do you forgive us and [Bb] we forgive
_ [Eb] We'll forgive each [Ab] other till we both turn blue then we'll [Bb] whistle and go [Eb] fishing in heaven _
_ [Bb] Fishing was
Whistle and [Eb] fish eat everything that they put on your dish [Ab] when we get [Eb] there
We'll make a big wish that [F] we never have [Eb] to do [Bb] this again
_ _ again _
_ [F] again
_ _ Okay, so that was my on [N] the chorus there that was where I was in the G chord
I was pinching the one of the four strings together _ _
so
_ _ [Bb] That's pretty much [N] what it is I can try and slow it down a little bit _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
So we were on a C _ _ [Ab] F [Eb]
C [Ab] C
_ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ [Bb] C _ [Eb] _ _ _
and then [G] on the chorus part it starts out father forgive us [F] for what we must do so [Eb] that's
_ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [Ebm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Ab] F [Ebm] C _ [Eb] F C
[Bb] _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Ab] _ _
[Ebm] _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] G C _
Father forgive [Gm] us for what we must do [F] you forgive [Bb] us and we'll forgive
_ [Eb] We'll forgive each other till [Ab] we both turn blue [Eb] then we'll whistle [F] and go fishing [Eb] in heaven
[F] And then the [Bb] Fishing with
Whistle and fish
That starts on a G _ Fishing with
Whistle and fish
Whistle and [Eb]
fish eat everything that's a C [Gm] eat everything that they put on
[Eb] When _ [Ab] we get there, that's an F.
We'll back to a C
[Eb] We'll make a big wish that we [C] now into a D7
[F]
Never [A] have to do [Bb] this again
That's a G with the [E] pinching on the one [F] four [Bb] again _ _
_ again
_ _ _ Oh
[Eb] Father forgive us for what we must do
You forgive us [Bb] and we'll forgive
_ [Eb] We'll forgive each [Ab] other till we both turn [Bb] blue
Then we'll whistle and go fishing in [Eb] heaven
_ [Bb] Fish and Whistle
Whistle and [Eb] fish
Eat everything that they put on
When [Ab] we get [Eb] there
We'll make a big wish
[F] That we never have to do [Bb] this again
_ Again Again
_ Again _ _ _ _
[Eb] On my very first job
I said thank you and please
They made me scrub a parking lot
[Bb] Down on my knees
[Eb] Then I got fired for [Ab] being scared of bees
[Eb] They only gave me
50 cents an hour
_ Father forgive us
For what we must do
[Ab] You forgive us [Bb] and we'll forgive
[Eb] We'll forgive each other
Till we both turn blue
Then we'll whistle and go fishing in heaven _ _ _
[G] So anyway that's pretty much the gist of it
If you have any questions or [A] comments you can let me know
_ _ [E] _ _
But you know if you [G] just want to strum it
You can just strum it with C, F, G [Eb] and D7 _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I've been thinking lately [Ab] about the people [Eb] I meet
[Ab] Got a [Eb] rush on the corner [Bb] and the old
