Opening Day

D  Em  G  D


[Verse 1]
 D                            Em
Leaves are turnin, ther's a chill in the air.
 G                           D
Campfires are burnin, we're gathered round in chairs.
 D                    Em
Three generations of huntin in our veins.
  C                           G                 D
Talkin bout what might happen,    on openin day.


[Verse 2]
 D                                               Em
Weather man's callin for southwest winds. Gonna have to change my plans.
         G                                       D
Guess I won't be Huntin the powerline, I'm Movin to the boat seat stand.
  D                          Em
Sighted in my rifle and she sure is shootin straight.
         C                              G                   D
But I'll meet up with the jitters y'all,    It's openin day.


[Chorus]
 D
I've been workin all summer and it's sure been hot.
 C
Tractor tore up but I planted my plot.
 G                                            D
Deer trail runnin through there looks like a highway.
 D
I got my heart set on that drop tine buck.
 C
There's plenty of room in the back of my truck.
 G                                                 A                       D
It's been a long year but it's gonna be worth the wait.    It's openin day.


[Verse 3]
 D                      Em
4 AM came early and we chugged that coffee down.
 G                                             D
Headed to the stand with my little man and he didn't make a sound.
 D                           C
Sat there till 9:15 and ole drop tine didn't show.
       G                                    C         D
Saw a couple of squirrels a fat racoon a possum and a doe.
 C                                                 G
Then out of the blue came a cow-horn spike and my little boy started to shake.
        C                                     G
But he manned up and took his very first buck,   on openin day.


[Chorus]

 G                                            D

 G                                                 A                      D    C
It's been a long year but it's gonna be worth the wait.    It's openin day.


 C                       G      D
It's gonna be worth the wait
 D                          C
It's finally openin day.
 C                            G                                    D
You better get out your gun clean it up good and get in the woods.
 D
It's openin day.
