[Verse 1]
C
My baby's been wishing, that I'd take her fishing
F                           C
So we waited on the perfect day
C
Hitched up my old john boat, to see if it would still float
F                               C
Should've seen the smile on her face
  Dm                               G
I found a little cove, dropped the lines, to try our luck
Dm                            G
Before too long she said it's starting to heat up

[Verse 2]
   F
So she took off her shirt
          G
Said I'll get a little sun
       C
Handed me the Coppertone
C
Man I had me some fun
  F                             G
I rubbed it in real good, and I didn't miss a spot
      Am               G           F
And I got to see that little pink bikini top
G                      C
Cause the fish weren't bitin'

[Verse 3]
C
She said I'll lay out a little, But if we get a nibble
F                                C
I want to be the one to reel him in
C
I said "baby you got it"
C
We'll tell 'em all you caught it
F                                         C
But you're getting some red there on your skin
C    Dm                              G
So I rubbed her down again, she said baby that feels nice
G         Dm                                   G
Won't you lay right here beside me, she didn't have to ask me twice

[Verse 4]
  F
I kissed her lips
F      G
As the sun went down
   C
We lost track of time, As we floated around
     F                    G
That john boat rocked out there in the dark
    Am             G         F
She still claims I stole her heart
G                      C
Cause the fish weren't bitin'
F                                G
We still laugh about that little fishing trip we took
Am           G                 F
To this day, she don't know, I didn't bait the hook

[Outro]
    F                             G
You know I love to catch 'em, but brother I won't lie
          Am       G     F     G
I had the best day of my life
G                      C
Cause the fish weren't bitin'
C                   F       C
No, the fish weren't bitin'
