VERSE:
G F              C
  I had already stopped

Filled up the cooler and the tank
and the tackle box
 F                      C
Weatherman calling for cloudy
and eighty-two.
Gsus4             G
 Sun down it’s a full moon.
F                 C
I had my old red Ranger
all shined up
Gsus4                G
 My good rods and a better

CHORUS:
 F
Sittin’ in a bar

            Am         G
Instead of wetting my line
 F
Catching me a buzz
     C
Not catching me a bass
        G
Runnin’ up the tab
                  Am            G
Instead of that Mercury twenty-five
Am                     G
I don’t know where it all went wrong
     F             C
But all I know is that girl’s gone
       F                      C
And a honey hole ain’t gonna help
me forget her
        G
So I’m sittin’ in a bar
Instead of fishing on a river.
