Blue Marlin Blues
By George Strait
9/11/2011
No Capo (Or Capo 1 in E)
F C7
First one off the dock, long before dawn, headed to the blue water, won't take long
F Bb F C7 F
A box full of ballyhoo, rigged just right, still hurtin' from that party last night
F C7
30 miles later, get the call lines in, scramble 'round the cockpit thinkin' we're gonna win
F Bb F C7 F
Seven hours later, we still ain't caught a thing, the mood on this boat sure has changed
Chorus:
F
I got the blue marlin blues from my hat to my shoes
F
I used to catch 'em in twos, no matter which bait I choose
C7
How many more can I lose, they got me drinkin' the booze
F Bb F
I got the blue marlin blues
I had one swimmin' right behind my bait, all lit up man, I just couldn't wait
I picked up the rod, I put it in free spool, thinkin' I'll shake these blue marlin blues
He knocked it out of the clip and I fed him some line, I locked it up and I began to wind
He came out of the water, spit the bait right at me then disappeared back into the sea
Chorus
