VERSE 

    C              C            Am         G 
you wake up in the morning with nothing to do 
     C              C        Am        G 
just tie your shoe, bruh, ya feel ban' new 
        C           C                    Am         G 
but you watch as the big boats float past 
    C              C             Am         G 
they're so rich and they're so fat 

pre-Chorus 

     F                       G 
and swimming in the Delta can make you laugh 
         F                 G 
when you gotta swim around all that trash 


C         C        Am         G 
C         C        Am         G 

verse 2 

C              C               Am         G 
Swing beach is the place to go, 
    C              C            Am         G 
but when the tide come we must go 
C              C             Am         G 
poppa got drunk and took from there 
     C              C            Am         G 
that crazy f*** man he don't care 

pre-Chorus 

    F                        G   
the fifties bash is a riot- I think 
        F                       G 
and the catfish race really takes the sink 

Chorus 

verse 3 

C              C            Am         G 
Gramma Maury would go to church, 
    C              C            Am         G 
then back to Post Ofiice, she would work 
C              C            Am         G 
Uncle Jerry was a fire fighter 
    C              C            Am         G 
but he got fought by the lung cancer 

pre-Chorus 

F                       G 
Uncle Mike on his Harley bike, 
F                       G 
stole the fortune and said "goodbye!"
