Verse 

D 
If there was ever a morning when the fish might bite,  
     G 
it'd be right now 
D                                      G 
Any other time we'd done had our lines cast out 
Bm                         A 
Sippin? on a jug of mama's sweet iced tea 
         G              D/F# 
Catchin? them 'ol cats 
             Em            A 
Why couldn't today be like that? 

 
                  D 
I wish this was a riverbank 
             G 
Instead of a graveyard 
               D 
I wish we were sittin? and fishin?  
                      G 
and this wouldn't be so hard 
          Bm                     A 
It was my favorite thing that we used to do,  
    G            D/F#                 Em
