Fishin' worms, fishin' worms

Fishin' worms, fishin' worms

Verse 2: (Same chords as verse 1)
I like everything
you can think about
fishin' worms

Ooushy, gooshy, gooshy ones

There's only one thing
I don't like doing with
fishin' worms

That is of course
I hate to catch
fish.....I hate fish Just

Fishin' worms, fishin' worms
Everybody's wishin' they had fishin' worms
Fishin' worms, fishin worms....

(End with |E7 B7 E7--| You can just hit the low B note for that B7 if
you want.....then hold out the last E7.)


I saw Heywood live last month at the local Funny Bone Comedy Club. If
you get a chance, do yourself a favor and see him live, he's great!
Talked to him after the show too and he's super-nice! I was right in
front of the stage and watched him play this, so I'm pretty sure it's
right. I had never seen a tab for any of his songs on-line....so I
thought I'd be the first! :O) Feel free to send any questions or
comments to me. And be sure to check out Heywood's site:
