[Intro]

A  E  B  C#m 
B  A  E  B
 
 
[Verse]
B A              E
  I had already stopped 

by the bait shop
 Bsus4                        B
Filled up the cooler and the tank 

and the tackle box
 A                      E
Weatherman calling for cloudy 

and eighty-two.
Bsus4             B
 Sun down it’s a full moon.
 
A                 E
I had my old red Ranger all shined up
Bsus4                B
 My good rods and a better day lined up.
A              E
I was ready to go
                   B
And it turned out she was too.
 
So now I’m
 
 
[Chorus]
 A
Sittin’ in a bar
            E
Instead of fishing on a river
 B
Wettin’ my whistle
            C#m        B
Instead of wetting my line
 
 A
Catching me a buzz
     E
Not catching me a bass
        B
Runnin’ up the tab
                  C#m           B
Instead of that Mercury twenty-five
 
C#m                     B
I don’t know where it all went wrong
     A             E
But all I know is that girl’s gone
       A                 
And a honey hole ain’t gonna 
 E
help me forget her
        B
So I’m sittin’ in a bar
 
Instead of fishing on a river.
 
 
[Instrumental]

A  E  B  C#m 
B  A  E  B
 
 
[Verse]
B A               E
 Had already made up her 

 goodbye mind
 B
Took her things, left me nothing 

but them tail lights
 A                         E    
They say the neon and the jukebox 
           B
helps the leaving
                       B
And that’s the reason that I’m
 
 
[Chorus]
 A
Sittin’ in a bar
            E
Instead of fishing on a river
 B
Wettin’ my whistle
            C#m         B
Instead of wetting my line
 
 A
Catching me a buzz
     E
Not catching me a bass
        B
Runnin’ up the tab
                  C#m           B
Instead of that Mercury twenty-five
 
C#m                    B
I don’t know where it all went wrong
     A             E
But all I know is that girl’s gone
       A                
And a honey hole ain’t gonna 
 E
help me forget her
        B
So I’m sittin’ in a bar
                         A
Instead of fishing onnnn a river.

[Break]
   A                  E            
I oughta be tired of throwing them 
          B  C#m B    
back by now
     A                    E
But here I am lettin’ her go
                          B
Throwing them back right now.
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
 A
Sittin’ in a bar
            E               
Instead of fishing on a river 
  B
(river, river, river, river)
 A
Sittin’ in a bar
            E               
Instead of fishing on a river 
  B
(river, river)
               B
Wishin’ I was with her
 
 
[Chorus]
 A
Sittin’ in a bar
            E
Instead of fishing on a river
 B
Wettin’ my whistle
            C#m         B
Instead of wetting my line
 
 A
Catching me a buzz
     E
Not catching me a bass
        B
Runnin’ up the tab
                  C#m            B
Instead of that Mercury twenty-five
 
C#m                     B
I don’t know where it all went wrong
     A             E
But all I know is that girl’s gone
       A
And a honey hole ain’t gonna 

help me forget her
        B
So I’m sittin’ in a bar
 
Instead of fishing on a river.
