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

(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:
