Wildegeeses ~ Michael Hurley
from "Ida Con Snock"
D G C
And now I see the wind
D (Dm) Em
blowin' from Northwest
D G C
I hear them honkers again
D (Dm) Em
on their rambling quest...
D Am C Em
Over Lord's Valley I roll like a ball
D Am C Em
and in the wind I hear them call
D Am C Em
Wild goose, loose goose, I count them all
D G C
Yonder steppin' that ol' light-walkin' wolf
D (Dm) Em
hungry as al--ways
D G C
Long legs and long ears and tail
D (Dm) Em
and a long, long will
D Am C Em
I had an ol' goose and I tried to keep her
D Am C Em
and she awake and I the sleeper
D Am C Em
She flew away left me the weeper
D G C
But there ain't no chill cold wind
D (Dm) Em
blowin' through our love nest
D G C
I feel your heart beat again
D (Dm) Em
in the wil--der--ness...
D Am C Em
I had no goose and I tried to claim her
D Am C Em
It's only in the wildness, can you name her
D Am C Em
It's only in the wildness, can you tame her
The (Dm) in the verses is more or less optional, but it does sound nice.
