  Mandaddy

  By Dana Cooper

  As performed by Trout Fishing in America on the album "Who Are These People"

  

  This is an approximation for those who are guitar-challenged.  The chord struc

  ture is correct, as is the key, but Ezra does play some rather interesting 

  chords that are unintelligible to me!!

  

  E

  Summer is coming, catfish are jumping

                  D               A

  The willows are weeping up the river

               E

  Mandaddy's wagon comes rattling and dragging

               A       B

  His magical route

                       E

  He's bringing ghost stories and bright penny whistles

                 D                  A

  White Chinese muzzles in tins of glory

              E                          D      A        E

  Look on the horizon and see the dust rolling down the road

  

  Chorus:

       B                      A         E

  My name is Mandaddy and I roam these hills

       B                        A          E

  I sing and I whistle and I'll cure your ills

       A            C#m                       F#

  Oh Mandaddy, Oh Mandaddy's gonna cure your ills

     B                        E

  Mandaddy's gonna cure your ills

  

      E

  He walks like a farmer, talks like warm water

                D              A

  Smells like tobacco and gun powder

                     E

  He's bringing red garters and bright copper kettles

                     A          B 

  and brown leather shoes

                 E

  He says, "I remember when your folks was young'uns

                 D                 A

  Laughing and running in Indian summer

                    E                        D       A        E

  They'd watch the horizon and see the dust rolling down the road!"

  

  

  Chorus

  

               E

  Everything changes, it's only natural

            D                 A

  Nothing remains as it once started

                   E

  This time next summer I may not be here, hear what I say

                E

  Children I love you, you make life worth living

                     E                      A

  The rivers worth crossing the gifts worth giving

                E                          D    A       E

  Look on the horizon and see the dust rolling down the road

  

  

  Chorus
