The Fish Aren't Biting Today

Capo 1 

D G A D (x4) 


D                 G          A                 D 
Take the jib sail down boys, take the jib sail down 
               G          A                D 
Turn this ship around boys, before we run aground 
                       G           A                  D 
The Fish Aren't Biting Today boys, Fish Aren't Biting Today 
                                 G 
I’m gonna lay on my bunk and get drunk as a skunk 
          A                  D 
Cause The Fish Aren't Biting Today. 


        D                     G 
There's six-foot waves and my stomach craves 
     A                 D 
Some good old Antiguan rum 
                      G 
I put some away for a rainy day 
        A                      D 
And the rain she's starting to come now. 


D                               G  
There's a northern wind and the lights are dim 
       A                D  
Like a good fresh Cuban cigar 
                             G  
I got me a hutch where there might be a bunch 
       A               D 
In the captains pickle jar. 

Chorus: 

D G A D (x4) 

                       G           A                  D 
The Fish Aren't Biting Today boys, Fish Aren't Biting Today 
                                 G 
I’m gonna lay on my bunk and get drunk as a skunk 
          A                  D 
Cause The Fish Aren't Biting Today.
