[Verse 1]
         Dm
Does the Governor know who killed the fishermen?
       F         G
On the lake last night,
        Dm
Was the cigarette boat, comin' 'round the point like a bat out of hell
       F           G        Dm
Wasn't burnin' his lights?

[Verse 2]
    Dm
The cigarette boat is not even legal
Dm                          F          G    Dm
The lake's too narrow to be goin' that fast
Dm
Two fishermen sat in an old green Jon boat,
       F        G      Dm
Makin' one more cast

[Verse 3]
Dm                            G  Dm
Full moon rising big and pale
     Dm                                   G  Dm
That cigarette boat didn't even slow down
       Dm                                  F  G  Dm
It was throwin' up a big old rooster tail
       Dm
And it ran right through 'em with a sickening sound

[Chorus]
         F              G                     Dm
Does the Governor know, who killed the fishermen?
         F              G                     Dm
Does the Governor know, who killed the fishermen?

[Verse 4]
    Dm
The game warden's here and the EMS
     Dm                        F          G
They hauled up the body with a rope and a hook
     Dm
They got no leads and no suspects
      Dm                       F          G
State trooper says they're not even gonna look

[Verse 5]
         Dm
Does the Governor know who killed the fishermen?
Dm               F        G
Had to have been some fat cat
     Dm
Them cigarette boats, they cost money
Dm                       F         G    Dm
Can't just anybody buy a boat like that

[Instramental]

[Verse 6]
           Dm
They can't find the boat, they can't find the trailer
          Dm                  F   G
They were watchin' the ramps, big mistake
     Dm
I'll bet you the farm it's in somebodies' boathouse
   Dm                           F            G
It never made the ramp and it's still on the lake

[Verse 7]
     Dm
They try to get a warrant, dream all you want
     Dm                     F          G
they won't be searchin' any lakefront homes
Dm
Justice is blind to them that own it
Dm                         F            G
Money don't talk when it's one of their own
Dm
Money don't talk when it's one of their own
Dm                         F            G
Money don't talk when it's one of their own

[Chorus]
         F              G                      Dm
Does the Governor know, who killed the fishermen?

         F              G                      Dm

         F              G                      Dm
