Standard simple blues rhythm, if you just want to strum it, use the
chords below played kinda quick with a little palm mute,
The way it is in the song is kinda like this, just play
the measure with the correct chord over and over till you
change:

   A         D7        E7
E|---------|---------|---------|
B|---------|---------|---------|
G|---------|-2-2-4-2-|---------|
D|-2-2-4-2-|-0-0-0-0-|---------|
A|-0-0-0-0-|---------|-2-2-4-2-|
E|---------|---------|-0-0-0-0-|

Well I was born in a John boat, with a cane pole in my hand
D7                                                     A

Yeah my daddy was a river rat, I was born a fisherman

Well I was born to run a trot line, born to fish all night, that's right
I was born to run a trot line, born to fish all night
Yeah I'm gonna get a buzz even if I don't get a bite

Yeah I was born in a John boat, with a cane pole in my hand
I was born in a John boat, with a cane pole in my hand
Yeah my daddy was a river rat, I was born a fisherman

HARMONICA SOLO

Oh, I don't care baby, either fish bite or they don't
Oh, I don't care baby, either fish bite or they don't
As long as you're right here by me, as long as you can rock this boat

I was born in a John boat, with a cane pole in my hand
I was born in a John boat, with a cane pole stuck in my hand
Yeah my daddy was a river rat, I was born a fisherman
