G                                  C       G 
I been thinkin' lately about the people I  meet 
     C             G              D 
The carwash on the corner and the hole in the street 
     G                        C 
The way my ankles hurt with shoes on my feet 
         G               D            G 
And I'm wondering if I'm gonna see tomorrow
[Refrain]
G                       C          G 
Father forgive us for what we must do 
C           G   D 
You forgive us, we'll forgive you 
 G                                C 
We'll forgive each other till we both turn blue 
            G              D          G 
Then we'll whistle and go fishin' in Heaven

[Strophe]
G                        C           G 
I was in the Army but I never dug a trench 
C                  G             D 
I used to bust my knuckles on a monkey wrench 
    G                          C 
I'd go to town and drink and give the girls a pinch 
       G                D         G 
But I don't think they ever even noticed me
[Refrain]
G                       C          G 
Father forgive us for what we must do 
C           G   D 
You forgive us, we'll forgive you 
 G                                C 
We'll forgive each other till we both turn blue 
            G              D          G 
Then we'll whistle and go fishin' in Heaven
[Pont]
D 
Fish and whistle, whistle and fish 
G 
Eat everything that they put on your dish 
     C                         G 
And when we get through, we'll make a big wish 
         A7                    D7 
That we never have to do this again,  Again? Again???
[Strophe]
      G                      C 
On my very first job I said "thank you" and "please" 
      C              G            D 
They made me scrub a parking lot down on my knees 
G                     C 
Then I got fired for being scared of bees 
         G             D              G 
And they only give me fifty cents an hour
[Refrain]
G                       C          G 
Father forgive us for what we must do 
C           G   D 
You forgive us, we'll forgive you 
 G                                C 
We'll forgive each other till we both turn blue 
            G              D          G 
Then we'll whistle and go fishin' in Heaven
