(G)I been thinking lately about the (C)people I (G)meet
The (C)carwash on the (G)corner and the (D)hole in the street
The (G)way my ankles hurt with (C)shoes on my feet
And I'm (G)wondering if I'm (D)gonna see tom(G)orrow

(Chorus)
(G)Father forgive us for (C)what we must (G)do
(C)You forgive (G)us we'll (D)forget you
(G)We'll forgive each other till we (C)both turn blue
Then we'll (G)whistle and go (D)fishing in (G)Heaven

(G)I was in the army but I (C)never dug a (G)trench
(C)I used to bust my (G)knuckles on a (D)monkey wrench
Then I'd (G)go to town and drink and (C)give the girls a pinch
But I (G)don't think they (D)ever even (G)noticed me
(Repeat chorus)

(D)Fish and whistle
Whistle and fish
(G)Eat every thing that they put on your dish
And (C)when we get through we'll (G)make a big wish
That we (A7)never have to do this (D7)again
Again?     Again???

(G)On my very first job I said (C)"thank you" and (G)"please"
They (C)made me scrub a (G)parking lot (D)down on my knees
(G)Then I got fired for (C)being scared of bees
And they (G)only give me (D)fifty cents and (G)hour
(Repeat Chorus)
