Goofus chords
Start Jamming...
Early in [Bb] my career, I've played just about every small town in Iowa.
The state where the tall corn grows.
Maybe that's how I got my reputation.
Cut out Bob laughing at my jokes here.
Mary Lou Metzger and Jack Em have a little fun with a song about Iowa.
Take [Gb] it away.
[A] [D] [G] [C]
Hey, you [F] need a lift?
Yeah, what is that instrument [C] anyway?
Well, this here is a xylophone.
Oh yeah?
And it sure beats picking [Gm] corn back in Iowa.
[G] He was born on a farm out in [C] Iowa, a plain land.
He found that he'd [Dm] fly away, [G] packed his grip, and he grabbed his [C] xylophone.
[Eb]
[G] I can't read a note, but I play anything, [C] dear.
I make up tunes on the sounds that I used to [A] hear.
When I start to play, folks used to say, [G] that sounds a little [C] doofus to me.
We [B]
[Bb] [A] [G]
got together a new kind of [C] orchestra, and we all play just the same doofus [A] harmony.
And I must [D] admit, he made a [G] hit, but it sounds a little [B] doofus to me.
