Biography:
Country Joe and the Fish was a rock music/folk music band known for musical protests against the Vietnam War, from 1965 to 1970.
The lead singer was "Country" Joe McDonald. The lead guitarist was Barry "The Fish" Melton. Co-founders McDonald and Melton added musicians as needed over the life of the band. By 1967, what many consider the classic line-up included Gary "Chicken" Hirsh (drums), David Cohen (keyboards) and Bruce Barthol (bass).
The band was an early example of Psychedelic music.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
I would recommend barring the majority of the chords except for D and E, this makes the quick transitions
less challenging and sounds closer to the album version than if they were to be played open.
[Intro]
E F# G A B C#
[Verse 1]
D F# A A# B
Movin' down that rock coast line
B B
Oh, nothin' but my woman on my mind
E G
Hear those waves poundin' on sand
E G
Smell that sea air blowin' inland
E A G D A A B C#
I wonder if she's found another man, oh!
D F# A A# B
Black stone roadway by the sea
B B
Oh, I wonder if she's a-missing me
E G
Four-wheeled clock keeps tickin' off time
E G
Measured minutes by a broken white line,
E A G D A
Wonder if I'm really on her mind, oh.
[Chorus]
G G
And now in my thoughts I feel her eyes,
F# F#
Feel her smilin' by my side,
D D
Then I turn around and see
E E F# G A B C#
There's nobody sittin' here but me, yeah!
[Verse 2]
D F# A A# B
Rubber tired, oh, lonesome song
B B
Tells me that I've done something wrong
E G
Days before and then we parted,
E G
I wonder why I even started
E A G D A A B C#
Thinkin' I've been gone far too long.
D F# A A# B
Moving past those rocks and waves
B B
I wonder how she spends her days,
E G
Watch the sun as we go by
E G
Throwin' colors off the water sky,
E A G D A A B C#
Thinkin' about the rainbows in my baby's eyes.
D F# A A# B
Movin' past those pine-cone trees,
B B
Sorry that I had to leave
E G
High above on a twisted road
E G
Ocean movin' down below
E A G D A
I wonder just how far I have to go.
[Chorus]
G G
And now in my thoughts I feel her eyes,
F# F#
Feel her smilin' by my side,
D D
Then I turn around and see
E E F# G A B C#
There's nobody sittin' here but me, yeah!
