[Intro]
G [Verse]
G Johnny's daddy was takin' him fishin' G When he was eight years old G A little girl came through
the front gate G Holdin' a fishin' pole Bm C His dad looked down and smiled Bm C Said, "We can't leave her behind Am7 G Son, I know you don't want her to go C But someday you'll
D
change your mind,"
and Johnny said [Chorus]
G "Take, Jimmy Johnson,
take Tommy Thompson G Take my best friend, Bo G Take anybody that you want as G Long as she don't go Am Take any boy in the world C D Daddy, please,
G
don't take the girl" [Verse]
G Same old boy, same sweet girl G Ten years down the road G He held her tight and
kissed her lips in G Front of thе picture show Bm C Stranger came and pullеd a gun Bm C Grabbed her by the arm Am7 Said, "If you do what
G
I tell you two, there C D Won't be any harm,"
and Johnny said [Chorus]
G "Take my money, take my wallet G Take my credit cards G Here's the watch that
my grandpa gave me G Here's the key to my car Am Mister, give it a whirl C D G But, please, don't take the girl" [Solo]
G [Verse]
G Same old boy, same sweet girl G Five years down the road G There's gonna be a little
one and she G Says, "It's time to go" Bm C Doctor says, "The baby's fine Bm C But you'll have to leave Am7 G 'Cause his mama's fadin' fast" and C D Johnny hit his knees and
there he prayed [Chorus]
G "Take the very breath you gave me G Take the heart from my chest G I'll gladly take her place
if you'll let me G Make this my last request Am Take me out of this world C D God, please,
G
don't take the girl" [Outro]
G Johnny's daddy was
takin' him fishin' G When he was eight years old
