And I'm G:wondering if I'm D:gonna see tomG:orrow

Chorus:
G:Father forgive us for C:what we must G:do
C:You forgive G:us we'll D:forget you

Then we'll G:whistle and go D:fishing in G:Heaven

G:I was in the army but I C:never dug a G:trench
C:I used to bust my G:knuckles on a D:monkey wrench
Then I'd G:go to town and drink and C:give the girls a pinch
But I G:don't think they D:ever even G:noticed me

Repeat chorus:

D:Fish and whistle
Whistle and fish
G:Eat every thing that they put on your dish
And C:when we get through we'll G:make a big wish
That we A7:never have to do this D7:again
Again?
Again???

G:On my very first job I said C:"thank you" and G:"please"
They C:made me scrub a G:parking lot D:down on my knees
G:Then I got fired for C:being scared of bees
And they G:only give me D:fifty cents and G:hour

Repeat Chorus:
