Freddy The Fishermans Son

3/4 start on B [Verso 1] G Freddy the fisherman's son, C G He's got all the girls on the run. Am C With his pole in his hand, D G He goes fishing on land. Am D7 That way he say's it's more fun. [Verso 2] G Freddy knows how the girls feel. C G When they see his rod they all reel. Am C And this fabulous rod D G Measures over a yard, Am D7 G And a thing like that you can't conceal. [Refrão] C Under the moon G He hollers, "Harpoon!" D7 G That means Freddy is at it again. Em In some little nook Bm He is dropping his hook, Am D7 Playing the old fishing game. [Verso 3] G When Freddy goes fishing at night, C G He carries a great big flashlight. Am C And I know it sounds odd D G It's tied onto his rod Am D7 The girls know his sinker by sight. [Verso 4] G When Freddy was only a boy, C G His pole was his only toy. Am C His Dad said, "You can bend it, D G And even extend it, Am D7 But once it gets broken you never can mend it." [Verso 5] G Then he had the awfullest fright. C G He had just put his pole out of sight, Am C When some dizzy dame D G Who was searching for fame Am D7 G Tried to carve her initials one night. [Refrão] C He'll always remember G That day in September D7 G He almost ran into his fate. Em He met a big barracuda Bm Just up from Bermuda Am D7 And she wouldn't let go of his bait. [Verso 6] G He sure had a narrow escape. C G Took days to get back into shape. Am C His rod was all bent D G And it had a big dent, Am D7 But he soon patched it up with scotch tape. [Verso 7] G On hot nights when hed go to sleep, C G his pole out the window, hed keep Am C a strange bird came along D G singing the woodpeckers song Am D7 and started to hammer away loud and strong [Verso 8] G But Freddie slept on, what a man C G He was dreaming of Darthy and Fan Am C but when he awoke, D G he found that was no joke Am D7 he still had his pole, but the poor thing was broken [Refrão] C Yes broken in two, G now theres nothing he can do D7 G so Freddy hangs down by the beach Em hes still got a yen Bm but hes no man among men Am D7 hes still got his line but his pole doesnt reach [Verso 9] G Freddy the fishermans son, C G his fishing is over and done Am C Youll find him with Grandpa, D G down in the square Am D7 both of them crying their eyes down there {Outtro} Em Bm Am D They have one thing in common, shouldnt happen to you D7 G D G Grandpas poooooole, doesnt reach tooo
