Floatin This Creek

F   |Am   |Bb   |F       X2


[Verse]
    F                  Am
Put in this morning at first light
      Bb                F
Had a biscuit on my way down
      F                            Am
I was sittin’ there waitin’ on the first bite
       Bb               F
From a rainbow or a brown
       F                         Am
Anchor down at the bridge, gonna try a new midge
          Bb              F
There was traffic flyin’ by
    Dm                         C
Taillights glowin’ red, thirty feet overhead
       Bb
But it felt like a thousand miles


[Chorus]
         Bb                      F
I’m just floatin’ this creek and takin’ it slow
          C                    F
Tryin’ to catch somethin’ big, sip somethin’ cold
Bb                 F                   C
I’d be a liar if I said I had a plan today
                  Bb             F
‘Cept watch these banks roll by, take it on in
      C                      F
Don’t get too deep, don’t forget where I been
Bb                  F                  C  Bb
Nothin’ but time to see where it takes me
           F        Am  Bb  F
Floatin’ this creek


[Verse]
     F                       Am
That rush hour traffic kinda slowed down
          Bb                     F
‘Bout the time that the fish did too
     F                     Am
Just me and this ol’ green boat now
Bb                     F
Nothin’ but nothin’ to do
     F                     Am
So I broke out a cold one, called my buddies, told ’em
Bb                            F
Slipped up and caught a state record
         Dm                       C
That’s a little white lie, he was good eatin’ size
      Bb
But I like my story better


[Chorus]
         Bb                      F
I’m just floatin’ this creek and takin’ it slow
          C                    F
Tryin’ to catch somethin’ big, sip somethin’ cold
Bb                 F                   C
I’d be a liar if I said I had a plan today
                  Bb             F
‘Cept watch these banks roll by, take it on in
      C                      F
Don’t get too deep, don’t forget where I been
Bb                  F                  C
Nothin’ but time to see where it takes me
     Bb       C           F
Yeah I'm just floatin’ this creek

[Bridge]
       Bb
Put my boat back on the trailer, eased out on the blacktop
C
Kinda sucks but I gotta make a dollar
    Bb                      F
I’m feeling pretty good, so I won’t bitch
Gm7                            Gm
‘Cause in the morning when I’m diggin’ that ditch


[Chorus]
         Bb                      F
I’m just floatin’ this creek and takin’ it slow
          C                    F
Tryin’ to catch somethin’ big, sip somethin’ cold
Bb                 F                   C
I’d be a liar if I said I had a plan today
                  Bb             F
‘Cept watch these banks roll by, take it on in
      C                      F
Don’t get too deep, don’t forget where I been
Bb                  F                  C  Bb
Nothin’ but time to see where it takes me
           F        Am  Bb  F
Floatin’ this creek


[Outro]
           F        Am  Bb  F
Floatin’ this creek
