Intro: G D G D C G 

G                       C  
I had me a highschool sweetheart, 
D                       G 
With big time wedding plans 
G                       C  
Then I signed up with the Navy, 
D                       G 
Went to work for Uncle Sam 


G                       C  
Eighteen lonely months Ive waited, 
D                       G 
To see her again 
G                       C  
When I got home to Gainsville, 
D                       G 
She married my best friend 



Chorus: 

                  C 
Whats it got to say 
                  G 
Whats it got to do 
        D 
I can paint this whole town red tonight, 
           G                G7 
And still wake up with the blues 
                        C 
Good luck is bound to find me, 
                    Em      C 
If it comes around again, 
                        G       D 
But Ill probably be out fishing, 
                    G 
When my ship comes in 


 G D G D C G 


G                       C  
Took a job down at the saw mill, 
D                       G 
Where I work hard everyday 
G                       C  
Climb that corporate ladder, 
D                       G 
I was promoted with a big ol raise 
G                       C  
The very next morning they told me, 
D                       G 
That old saw mill had been sold 
G                       C  
Someones gonna take your position boy, 
D                       G 
They wrote me off and sent me home 


Chorus: 

                  C 
Whats it got to say 
                  G 
Whats it got to do 
        D 
I can paint this whole town red tonight, 
           G                G7 
And still wake up with the blues 
                        C 
Good luck is bound to find me, 
                    Em      C 
If it comes around again, 
                        G       D 
But Ill probably be out fishing, 
                    Em  C 
When my ship comes in 



                        G       D 
But Ill probably be out fishing, 
                    G   D C G 
When my ship comes in
