Chords for Seamus Kennedy - Fishin' For Chickens

My friend Hobo Jim, the official goodwill and folk music ambassador of Alaska, gave me this next song.
And he wrote it for a friend of his from Arizona, I believe,
[E] who never experienced the joy of going fishing with his grandfather when he was a kid.
_ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ Well, my grandpa gave me his old fishing pole, [G] but we didn't have a fishing hole.
[D] Ah, but that didn't matter.
It didn't bother either [A] of us. _
_ _ We'd sit out there on the old [A] front porch with [G] a rusty can full of kernel corn.
[D] We'd bait our hooks [A] and we'd cast out in [D] the dust.
_ _ Fishing [G] for chickens, _ trying to [D] catch a big one. _ _
[E] White ones, black ones, yellow ones, [D] red ones.
It don't matter just as long as I get one.
[G] If mama finds out, _ I'm gonna [D] catch another licking.
_ [B] _ _ [E] Cause mama don't like [A] nobody fishing [D] for chickens.
_ I remember the time when I got [G] in on a feeding frenzy in a school of hens.
I was [D] reeling one in just as mama [A] came flying through the door.
_ [E] She [D] said, cut that loose boy before you kill [G] it.
I said, he swallowed the hook, mama.
Grease up the [D] skillet.
Just about [A] then I knew she was gonna wring my neck for sure.
[G] _ [D] _ Fishing [G] for chickens, _ trying to [D] catch a big one. _ _
[A] White ones, black ones, yellow ones, red ones.
It don't matter [D] just as long as I get one.
If mama [G] finds out, _ I'm gonna [D] catch another licking.
_ [B] _ _ [E] Cause mama don't like [A]
nobody fishing [D] for chickens. _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ [Bm] Even though it wasn't right, [A] me and grandpa side by side.
[Bm] Out in the early morning [A] light, trying to get a rooster to bite.
[D] I was sitting on the top step dreaming a bit when [G] from out of nowhere that leg horn [D] hit.
Grandpa yelled, boy that's the biggest one [A] of them all. _
If [D] you land him kid, well sure enough, [G] we'll take him to town and we'll have him [Em] stuffed.
[D] We'll put him on a [A] plaque and we'll mount that [D] sucker on the wall.
_ _ [Gm] Fishing for chickens, _ [G]
trying to catch a [A] big one.
