My only note is that on the bridge ("I'll take you into town...") you should

walk
the bass up E-F#-G#-A and then A-B-C#-D.
Enjoy.

Intro:
F#m7 Bm7 E C#7
F#m7 Bm7 G#7 C#7
F#m7 Bm7 E C#7
A C#7 Dmaj7

I caught a string full of fish down by the dam
F#m7 Bm7 E C#7
I'll drag them back to the field they should be dead by then
F#m7 Bm7 G#7 C#7
Wipe the sweat off my neck and tally ho the plow
F#m7 Bm7 E C#7
I'm gonna grow a woman from the ground
A C#7 Dmaj7

The night was a chalkboard with a fingernail moon

If the fish ain't dead yet they will be pretty soon

Kinda like the feeling at an old folks home

Even though you love them you can't wait for them to go

I'll call her Angelina she's a teacher I once had

A halo of honey wrapped around her head

And she always used to give me some when I was a kid

I told her that I loved her and then I went and hid

I'll take you into town and I'll show you off
E A Dmaj7
And there's room on your dress for a corsage
E A Dmaj7
And I'll open up every door for you
E A Dmaj7

Ooo...
F#m7 A Dmaj7
Ooo...
E A Dmaj7

I opened up my almanac and in my head I read

Cut your wrist on the fins of the fish and drain all you can

So I rolled up my sleeves and then began to draw lines just as deep as the

days are long
