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

Well I had an old dog and his name was Blue

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

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
