G Ami Back when Cattle Creek used to singC G Its waters were sweet and its banks were greenAmi D G And sunny days went on foreverG Ami Me and ol' Bugler we went wildC G A blue tick hound and redneck childAmi D G We thought we were birds of a featherG Ami Ah the fish would bite, my how they'd fightC G We'd catch them possums in the pale moonlightAmi D G For Nola, just to please herG Ami Bugler's voice like Gabriel's hornC G Up in the cypress and down through the cornAmi D G Golden sounds, yes to treasureG Ami Bugler, Bugler, bless your hideC G Jesus gonna take you for a chariot rideAmi D G Say goodbye, say goodbyeG Ami One day Nola, she brought the news, she said,C G I hear young Bugler's done paid his dues,Ami D G He's been hit down, yes on that highwayG Ami Dry your eyes and stand up straightC G Bugler's got a place at the pearly gatesAmi D G Say goodbye sugar, ah, say goodbyeG Ami Bugler, Bugler, bless your hideC G Jesus gonna take you for a chariot rideAmi D G Say goodbye, say goodbye The Byrds Columbia Records
