I was born on a farm out in Iowa
G
A flaming youth I was bound I would fly away
D6 G
I packed my grip and I grabbed my saxo phone
D6
Can't read notes but I play anything by ear
G
I made up tunes on the sounds that I used to hear
E7
When I'd start to play
A7
Folks used to say
D6 D13 G
"Sounds a little goo fus to me"
G13
Corn fed chords appeal to me
F#13
I like rustic harmony
F13
Hold a note and change the key
E7 A
Hey, well, that's goofus
G13
Not according to the rules
F#13
That you learn in music schools
F13
But the folks just dance like fools
E7 A
They sure go for goofus
D6
Got a job but I just couldn't keep it long
G
The leader said that I played all the music wrong
D6 G
So I stepped out with an outfit of my own
D6
Got together a new kind of orchestra
G F#
And we all played just the same goofus harmon y
F E7
And I must admit
A7
We made a hit
D D13 G
Goofus has been lucky for me
