[Verse 1]
G C G
I been thinking lately about the people I meet
C G D
The carwash on the corner and the hole in the street
G C
The way my ankles hurt with my shoes on my feet
G D G
And I'm wondering if I'm gonna see tomorrow
[Chorus]
G C G
Father forgive us for what we must do
C G D
You forgive us, we'll forgive you
G C
We'll forgive each other till we both turn blue
G D G
Then we'll whistle and go fishing in heaven
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
G C G
I was in the army but I never dug a trench
C G D
Used to bust my knuckles on a monkey wrench
G C
I'd go to town and drink, give the girls a pinch
G D G
But I don't think they ever really noticed me
[Chorus]
G C G
Father forgive us for what we must do
C G D
You forgive us, we'll forgive you
G C
We'll forgive each other till we both turn blue
G D G
Then we'll whistle and go fishing in heaven
[Bridge]
D
Fish and whistle, whistle and fish
G
Eat everything that they put on your dish
C G
And when we get through we'll make a big wish
A7 D7 D7 D7
That we never have to do this again, again, again
[Verse 3]
G C G
Oh, my very first job I said "thank you and please"
C G D
They made me scrub a parking lot down on my knees
G C
Then I got fired for being scared of bees
G D G
And they only give me fifty cents an hour
[Chorus]
G C G
Father forgive us for what we must do
C G D
You forgive us, we'll forgive you
G C
We'll forgive each other until we both turn blue
G D G
Then we'll whistle and go fishing in heaven
[Instrumental]
| G C G | C G D |

[Bridge]
D
Fish and whistle, whistle and fish
G
Eat everything that they put on your dish
C G
And when we get through we'll make a big wish
A7 D7 D7 D7
That we never have to do this again, again, again
[Chorus]
G C G
Oh, father forgive us for what we must do
C G D
You forgive us, we'll forgive you
G C
We'll forgive each other till we both turn blue
G D G
And we'll whistle and go fishing in heaven
G D G
We'll whistle and go fishing in heaven
G D G
We'll whistle and go fishing in heaven
