Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
One  day I'm gonna swim  this lake I swear  it
I'm  gonna swim it  end to end
I'm  bound to paddle  on upriver
Out  by the delta  where the fishin'  boats  come in
One  day I'm gonna catch  the biggest catfish
The  one that always  got away
Dust  off your finest  china dishes
We’re  gonna have  him on a plate
One  mornin' 'fore the sun  rise one  mornin' 'fore the light
One  mornin' 'fore the mean  old rooster  has cried
One  mornin' 'fore the trucks  roll blowin'  their horn
We  gonna take the whole  world on  by the storm
Someday  I'm gonna make  a ton of money
I'm  gonna tuck  it in the bank
So  we ain't ever  goin' hungry
They'll  have to add  another safe
One  mornin' 'fore the sun  rise one  mornin' 'fore the light
One  mornin' 'fore the mean  old rooster  has cried
One  mornin' 'fore the trucks  roll blowin'  their horn
We  gonna take the whole  world on  by the storm
 2x
Someday  I'll travel  to the city
I  might hop  a trolley car
See  them buildings  tall as Everest
Disappearing in  the stars
One  mornin' 'fore the sun  rise one  mornin' 'fore the light
One  mornin' 'fore the mean  old rooster  has cried
One  mornin' 'fore the trucks  roll blowin'  their horn
We  gonna take the whole  world on  by the storm
We  gonna take the whole  world on  by the storm
We  gonna take the whole  world on  by the storm
Ooh  ooh  ooh yeah yeah
Ooh  ooh  ooh yeah yeah
We  gonna take the whole  world on  by the storm
We  gonna take the whole  world on  by the storm
 - repeat until end and end on A
