growing down his back[/tab]\r\n[tab]       [ch]D[/ch]\r\nand it waved in the water when he'd swim.[/tab]\r\n[tab]       [ch]E[/ch]\r\nHe had notches all along from his head to his tail[/tab]\r\n[tab]                              [ch]A[/ch]\r\nwhere the motor of a boat dug in.[/tab]\r\n[tab]         [ch]A[/ch]\r\nHe had a half a dozen hooks hanging from his lip[/tab]\r\n[tab]     [ch]D[/ch]\r\nall rusted and busted and bent.[/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]E[/ch]\r\nHe had one big bloodshot eye on the right[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                  [ch]A[/ch]    [ch]D[/ch]  [ch]E[/ch]  [ch]A[/ch]\r\nand the left side, nothing but a dent.[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab]     [ch]A[/ch]\r\nNow I'm a pretty good fisherman,[/tab]\r\n[tab]     [ch]D[/ch]\r\nbut Plano Joe he's great.[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]E[/ch]\r\nHe knows all there is to know[/tab]\r\n[tab]                          [ch]A[/ch]\r\nabout boats and bass and bait.[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]\r\nHe'll catch more on just one cast[/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]D[/ch]\r\nthan most men catch all day.[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]E[/ch]\r\nTo Plano Joe there aint no such thing[/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]D[/ch]        [ch]E[/ch]       [ch]A[/ch]   [ch]D[/ch]   [ch]E[/ch]  [ch]A[/ch]\r\nas the one that got away[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\nNow Plano Joe's from Texas\r\nwhere everything comes big,\r\nwhere the bass are as mean as rattlesnakes\r\nand outweigh most any pig.\r\nYou can't catch a smallmouth\r\nif it's largemouth bait you use,\r\n'cause them bass they aint just big and mean\r\nbut they all got high IQ's\r\n\r\nNow up in Lake Texoma there lives a striper,\r\nhis name is Jake.\r\nEveryone down in Texas knows\r\nhe's the biggest fish in the lake.\r\nHe'd never been caught, but he'd been seen\r\nby all the local pros,\r\nswimming around the bass boats,\r\nthumbing his big bass nose.\r\n\r\nCHORUS\r\n\r\nWell Plano Joe was on the lake\r\naround sunrise, 6th of June.\r\nIn his box he had just one lure,\r\na spinner with a silver spoon.\r\nHe had just one rod and just one reel,\r\nand just one great big lake.\r\n\"Today's the day,\" I heard him say,\r\n\"I'm gonna boat that fish named Jake.\"\r\n\r\nHe cruised out Ross' cove and headed\r\ndown lake to the dam,\r\nand just beyond ol' Walkers point\r\nhe said, \"Jake here I am.\"\r\nHe shut that outboard motor down,\r\ntook out that silver lure,\r\ntied it to some heavy line and\r\ncast out strong and sure.\r\n\r\nNow I've known Joe for 40 years,\r\nmaybe even more,\r\nbut when that fish hit his blue eyes lit\r\nlike I've never seen before.\r\nThat line went tight and that pole went bent\r\nand that drag began to spin.\r\nThere was smoke rolling out the back of his reel\r\nwhen his line jerked to an end.\r\n\r\nThen the fish began to tow the boat\r\nso fast it left a wake.\r\nJoe said, \"I'm gonna boat this bass\r\nif my back and my line don't break.\"\r\nAs he zoomed off across the lake\r\nhe said, \"You can tell my wife,\r\nI've been home every night for 29 years,\r\nbut I won't be home tonight.\"\r\n\r\nAfter 40 days of fighting,\r\nthat fish could barely swim.\r\nAfter 20 more days of playing tug-of-war\r\nJoe started reeling in.\r\nAfter 10 more days of reeling,\r\nJoe was eye-to-eye with Jake.\r\nHe said, \"Tell me now, you water sow,\r\nwho's the baddest in this lake?\"\r\n\r\nThen Jake spit out that silver lure\r\nright back in ol' Joes face.\r\nStarted dancing on his tail\r\nlike a theme park whale,\r\nsplashing water all over the place.\r\n\r\nWell Joe ripped off his hat and his shoes\r\nand said, \"Hooks be damned.\r\nForget that rod, forget that reel,\r\nI'm gonna get this fish by hand.\"\r\n\r\nWith that ol' Joe jumped in the lake\r\nand swam out to that fish.\r\nHe grabbed his tail but Jake shook loose\r\nwith one big mighty swish.\r\n\r\nThen Jake grabbed Joe by his sleeve\r\nand drug him down below.\r\nThe water did boil and bubble and blither.\r\nDidn't see him for and hour or so.\r\n\r\nThen up they shot like a water spout,\r\nabout 100 feet in the air.\r\nThey were flippin' and spinnin'\r\nand flappin' and slapppin'\r\nwith scales flying every which where.\r\n\r\nThey thrashed and they splashed\r\ntill the sun started setting\r\nand when the water finally stills,\r\nhere comes ol' Joe,\r\nswimming life guard style,\r\nhauling Jake in by the gills.\r\n\r\n[and he was singing to him]\r\nYou've got long green moss growing down your back\r\nand it waves in the water when you swim.\r\nYou've got notches all along from your head to your tail\r\nwhere the motor of a boat dug in.\r\nYou've got hooks in you lips and a bloodshot eye.\r\nBut hey Jake it wasn't your day.\r\n'Cause to Plano Joe there aint no such thing\r\nas the one that got away.\r\n\r\n\r\ncapo on the 2nd fret, still in the key of A (played as G, etc)","plain_text":"#----------------------------------PLEASE
