The Byrds  America's Great National Pastime written by Skip Battin

                                                       Kim Fowler

C                                           G

One of America's great national pastimes is drinking a coke

F                  C

Taking  a smoke   telling a joke

C                                           G

One of America's great national pastimes is playing ball

F                  C

Taking it all  and thinking so small

        F                        C

But the great taste of coke has refreshed players

     G                C

The hot and tired the weary and the sore

        F                        C

But the great taste of coke has refreshed players

    G                 F              C

The hot and tired the weary and the sore

C                                            G

One of America's great national pastimes is chocolate fudge

F                  C

Carrying a grudge  bribing a judge

C                                           G

One of America's great national pastimes is poisoning rain

F               C

Acting insane  inflicting pain

        F                        C

But the great taste of coke has refreshed players

     G                C

The hot and tired the weary and the sore

        F                        C

But the great taste of coke has refreshed players

    G                 F              C

The hot and tired the weary and the sore

C                                                 G

One of America's great national pastimes is  the worship of speed

F                           C

Planting  the seeds  taking more than she needs

C                                          G

One of America's great national pastime is cutting the grass

F                  C

Grabbing some ass living too fast

        F                        C

But the great taste of coke has refreshed players

     G                C

The hot and tired the weary and the sore

        F                        C

But the great taste of coke has refreshed players

    G                 F              C

The hot and tired the weary and the sore

The Byrds                        Old Blue              arranged by

Roger McGuinn

           D                                  A7  D

Well I had an old dog and his name was Blue

                                   A7  D

Well I had an old dog and his name was Blue

Well I had an old dog and his name was Blue

                           A7       D           D     A7    D

Betcha five dollars he's a good dog too

D                                        A7      D

Oh Blue chased a possum up a holler limb

                          A7      D

Blue chased a possum up a holler limb

Blue chased a possum up a holler limb

                         A7        D

The possum growled Blue  whined at him

D       Bm     G   A         D             Bm    G   A        D

Bye bye blue   you good dog  you   bye bye blue  you good dog you

D

When old Blue died he died so hard

                          A7            D

He shook the ground in my back yard

We lowered him down with a golden chain

                         A7  D

And every link we called his name

D       Bm     G    A        D             Bm    G   A        D

Bye bye blue   you good dog  you   bye bye blue  you good dog you

D

My old Blue he was a good old hound

                      A        D

You'd hear him hollar miles around

When I get to heaven first thing I'll do

                         A   D

Is grab my horn and call for Blue

D       Bm     G        A    D             Bm    G     A      D

Bye bye blue   you good dog  you   bye bye blue  you good dog you
