[Am]
[C]
Back when Canoe [Am] Creek used to sing, [C] its waters were sweet [G] and its banks were green, [Am] and sunny
[D] days went [G] on forever.
Me and old [Am] Bugler, we went [C] wild, blue-checked hound [G] and a redneck child, [Am] we thought we [D] were [G] birds of a feather.
[C] All [D] [G] the fish would bite, [Am] my how they'd fight, [C] we'd catch them possums [G] in the pale moonlight.
[Am] But not [D] just [G] a pretty star, Bugler's voice, [Am] my gate was home, [C] up in the cypress [G] and down to the cone, [Am] golden sounds.
[D] Yes, [G] you treasure, Bugler, [Am] Bugler, bless you high, [C] Jesus gonna take you [G] for a chariot ride, [Am] say goodbye, [D] [G] say goodbye.

One day, Nova, [Am] she brought the news, she [C] said, honey, old Bugler's [G] done paid his dues, he's been hit [D] down,
he's [G] on that highway, dry your eyes [A] and stand up straight, [C] Bugler's got a place at [G] the pearly gates, [Am] say goodbye, sugar, [D] oh, say [G] goodbye.
Bugler, [Am] Bugler, bless you high, Jesus gonna take you [G] for a chariot ride, [Am] say goodbye, [D] [G] say goodbye.
Bugler, Bugler, [Am] bless you high, [C] Jesus gonna take you [G] for a chariot ride, [Am] say goodbye, [D] oh, [G] say goodbye.
