CAPO: 2nd Fret




[Intro]
C   F   C     F   C

[Verse 1]

Down on the corner, the old man said
F                 G        C       F G C
Son, the old blue goose is dead

She was up on the side of the grocery store
        F                    G        C
But the old blue goose ain't there no more


[Verse 2]
F
Back in the days when the railroad ran
    C
The bootleg liquor and the big-time bands
           F
They would knock 'em down, turn 'em loose
           C                   G        C        F G C
And they'd all go rockin' down old Blue Goose


[Verse 3]

There was jig-joint whiskey and Muscat wine
F                   G        C        F G C
Jesse on the corner rustling dimes

Ed and Oscar, the Wampus Cats
F                       G             C
Black Ace playing for a nickel in the hat


[Instrumental]
C   F G C   F G C    F C F C    F C F C    F G C   F G C   


[Verse 4]

Now it ain't no use you telling me
     F                       G    C     F G C
This stuff ain't nothing but history

'Cause the old blue goose is on her way
    F                   G       C
She stopped right by my house today


[Verse 5]
F
Word came down from a friend of mine
C
We got the old blue goose on line
        F
And the world-wide web is gonna spread the news
      C                       G           C        F G C
About Jesse and Oscar and the Shreveport blues


[Verse 6]

And now that she got wings to fly
     F                   G     C      F G C   F G C
That old blue goose will never die

You can play it fast, you can play it loose
           F                    G        C
Or you can play a song about an old blue goose


[Outro]
C    F G C    F G C
