Chords

As recorded by George Strait (From the 2011 Album HERE FOR A GOOD TIME) [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
