Chords for Barnyard Symphony - The Folksmen

[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [Db] _ _ Thank you so [Eb] much.
I think that's [Gb] faster than we used to do it.
[Eb] It's faster than we used to do anything. _ _
What a good crowd.
Great crowd.
I think they're ready to go to work, don't you?
I do.
Who feels like a little [G] audience [Gm] participation?
You've been sitting there [Ab] soaking it up.
How about adding a little something [A] to the festivities?
_ [Bb] I suppose some of you are [Ab] thinking that I paid to [A] get in, admittance fee, so to speak.
[Db] And now they're going [Bb] to make me work.
That's right.
But that's a part of folk [C] music, you know.
It's working man's music, so you've got to work to hear it.
We do need your help, it's true.
[G] _ _ All right, I think we'll do it in the key of G today.
G is fine with us?
G, [Bb] your banjo smells terrific.
_ [Ab] Thank you.
_ It goes a little bit like this, all right?
[D] It goes actually, exactly like that.
Totally like that.
Jeez.
[G] _ Mr.
Alan Barrow is [Dbm] on the five-string banjo.
This was [Ab] in tune when I bought it, I [Db] assure you.
[Ab] _ _ [D] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
[G] _ [D] _ [G] The [Em] five-string [C] banjo. _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ [G] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Thank you. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Every morning [C] at five o [G]'clock, the farmer jumps [D] out of bed,
_ [G] washes up, [C] ties his shoes, [D] pulls his hat, and [C] goes to [G] sleep. _ _ _
And the chickens cluck, [C] the horses neigh, [G] the crickets hoot, the fiddle dee,
[D] _ [G] the bullfrogs croak, [C] the pigs oink, oink,
_ [D] it's the barnyard [G] symphony. _
_ _ _ Pretty simple, huh?
Here's the complicated part.
Now, I want these people over here just beyond the aisle there,
just the man with the funny shirt and all of you, that group right there.
And when you hear the chickens cluck, I want you to make your best chicken noise.
Let me hear it now.
_ _ Oh, I knew this was good casting.
All right, now I want to hear from the horse people.
I don't mean people who've got a sore throat.
I mean people who can actually make a very proper sounding neigh [Eb]
sound of the horse.
[Gbm] _ _ _ [Gb] That's not too [Ab] bad, is it?
I like my horse [Db] people.
Now, I'm going to go a step farther.
For my part, I'd like the folks [G] in the balcony to be the crickets because you're smaller.
At least you look that way [D] to me.
Little tiny little [Eb] crickets.
_ [Gm] So I want [G] you to do the fiddle dee dee part, okay? _
Fiddle dee dee.
Very nice. That's good.
I like that.
[Gm] Now, I need some [Ab] bullfrogs.
I'd say this group [G] right here looks pretty froggy to me.
Let's hear it.
Your best bullfrog.
Croak, croak.
Oh, [C] very nice.
Very nice.
Good, good, good.
[G] Oh, and [Eb] one more thing.
We have [D] some pigs we haven't [Db] accounted for.
[G] That's pretty rude, isn't it?
I [Db] think this area [F] past the aisle over there.
Just behind the stye there, yeah.
_ [Ab] Let's hear your pig.
Croak, croak.
_ _ Easy [Cm] now.
I know.
These are paying customers.
Well, let's give it a spin, shall we?
[G] All right. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ The sun moves down.
The _ farm gets [D] in the middle.
_ [G] _ You can hear the sound of [D] the barn.
The [G] rooster's dead.
Ready?
_ And the chickens cluck.
_ _ The horse [C] is neigh. _ _
[G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[G] The bullfrogs croak.
_ They join going.
[C] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
Very nice.
[Gm] Thank you so much.
We had a wonderful time.
Enjoy the rest of the show.
Thank you, Earth. _
