G                                       D
I was sittin’ In the back of his pickup truck
G
He hadn’t made it out, well just my luck,
             C                                               G
But when he finally walked out the door, I couldn’t help but smile
G
He taught me how to tie up tight,
G
And we’d be leavin’ out before daylight
      C                                             G
I was just up the road, but it felt like a hundered miles
     D
Then he handed me an old cane pole,
D
We headed out to his fishin‘ hole.


[Chorus]
        C              D                        G
Then we put our lines down in the water, and we waited for the fish to bite,
         C                     D                            G                       G7
Yeah, we talked about God, and talked about living, there‘s times we would talk all night
         C                       D           G                     D    Em
Well you know if you didn‘t have time to go, he’d tell you it would be a sin,
C                  D                    G
How I’d love to go fishin‘ with Grandpa again

[Verse 2]
G                                
Off to school, hoped to make him proud,
G                             
workin two jobs away from the crowd,
  C                                           G
i hardly ever had the time to to just go back home,
G
but when I had the chance to make it back,
G
it wouldn‘t take long and he’d be packed,
C                                               G
give me a great big hug, and then we’re out the door,
   D                           C
i never knew the memories we’d make,
D
spending all day out at the lake,


[Chorus]
        C              D                        G
Then we put our lines down in the water, and we waited for the fish to bite,
         C                     D                            G                       G7
Yeah, we talked about God, and talked about living, there‘s times we would talk all night
         C                       D           G                     D    Em
Well you know if you didn‘t have time to go, he’d tell you it would be a sin,
C                  D                    G
How I’d love to go fishin‘ with Grandpa again


[Verse 3]
G
He went home bout a year ago,
G
i headed out to his fishin hole,
  C                                         G
i stayed for a while but I never even got a bite,
                               D
i looked up said I could use a hand
D
you know I wouldn’t be half the man
     C                                     G
if I showed up later today with nothing to fry
     D                    C
then I felt the wind blow around
D
and we were eating good about sundown


[Chorus]
        C              D                        G
Then we put our lines down in the water, and we waited for the fish to bite,
         C                     D                            G                       G7
