[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
