[Intro]
D
I got the blue marlin blues, I got the blue marlin blues
D
I got the blue marlin blues, I got the blue marlin blues
D
I got the blue marlin blues, I got the blue marlin blues
D
I got the blue marlin blues, I got the blue marlin blues
[Verse 1]
D
First one off the dock, long before dawn
A
Headed to the blue water, won't take long
D G
A box full of ballyhoo, rigged just right
D
Still hurting from that party last night
[Verse 2]
D
Thirty miles later, get the call lines in
A
Scramble' round the cockpit thinking we're gonna win
D G
Seven hours later, we still ain't caught a thing
D
Mood on this boat sure has changed
[Chorus]
A D
I got the blue marlin blues from my hat to my shoes
D
I used to catch 'em in twos no matter which bait I'd choose
A
How many more can I lose, they got me drinking the booze
D G D A
I got the blue marlin blues
[Pedal Steel & Piano Solos]
D A D G D A7
[Verse 3]
D
I had one swimming right behind my bait
A7
All lit up man, I just couldn't wait
D G
I picked up the rod, I put it in free spool
D A D
Thinking I'll shake these blue marlin blues
[Verse 4]
D
He knocked it out of the clip and I fed him some line
A7
I locked it up and I began to wind
D G
He came out of the water, spit the bait right at me
D
And disappeared back into the sea
[Chorus]
D
I got the blue marlin blues from my hat to my shoes
D
I used to catch 'em in twos no matter which bait I'd choose
A7
How many more can I lose, they got me drinking the booze
D G D
I got the blue marlin blues
[Organ Solo]
