[Intro]

C Am7 F C

[Verse 1]

C
Everything I learned about life
  Am
I learned out on that bank
     F
From gettin' up early, comin' up empty
    C                   G
And good things come to those that wait
Am                    G
Money doesn't grow on trees
                  F
The difference in talking and shootin' the breeze

[Chorus]

C
I remember thinkin', wouldn't it be cool
           Am
To have an old flat bottom and an Evinrude?
    F                                                C  
And Daddy saying, "Son, don't they bite just fine right here?"
G            C
  He'd say, "Love what you got, buddy, not what you ain't"
    Am
And just about then that bobber would sink
         F                                    G
And that outboard dream of mine would disappear
  Am                      G               F
I grew up pretty lucky as far as lucky goes
                C    Am  F
Too broke for a boat

[Verse 2]

C
He could've picked up an extra shift
     Am                Am7
Or a weekend at the factory
    F
But every Sunday was saved for Jesus
    C             G
And Saturdays, he spent with me
Am                     G
'Til that summer would fall
         F
I didn't know we had it all

[Chorus]

C
I remember thinkin', wouldn't it be cool
           Am
To have an old flat bottom and an Evinrude?
    F                                             C
And Daddy saying, "Son, don't they bite just fine right here?"
G            C
  He'd say, "Love what you got, buddy, not what you ain't"
    Am
And just about then that bobber would sink
         F                                     G
And that outboard dream of mine would disappear
  Am                      G              F
I grew up pretty lucky as far as lucky goes
                C     Am
Too broke for a boat
                 F    C  G
Too broke for a boat

[Chorus]

C
I remember thinkin', wouldn't it be cool
           Am
To have an old flat bottom and an Evinrude?
    F                                               C
And Daddy saying, "Son, don't they bite just fine right here?"
G            C
  He'd say, "Love what you got, buddy, not what you ain't"
    Am
And just about then that bobber would sink
         F                                    G
And that outboard dream of mine would disappear
  Am                      G      F
I grew up pretty lucky as far as lucky goes
                C    Am   
Too broke for a boat
                  F    C
Too broke for a boat
