G                      Am
Back when Cattle Creek used to sing
    C                         G
Its waters were sweet and its banks were green
    Am         D           G
And sunny days went on forever
G                 Am
Me and ol' Bugler we went wild
  C                   G
A blue tick hound and redneck child
   Am              D          G
We thought we were birds of a feather
G                       Am
Ah the fish would bite, my how they'd fight
C                              G
We'd catch them possums in the pale moonlight
    Am    D       G
For Nola, just to please her
G                   Am
Bugler's voice like Gabriel's horn
C                     G
Up in the cypress and down through the corn
Am             D           G
Golden sounds, yes to treasure
G               Am
Bugler, Bugler, bless your hide
C                          G
Jesus gonna take you for a chariot ride
    Am       D        G
Say goodbye, say goodbye
G                 Am
One day Nola, she brought the news, she said,
C                          G
I hear young Bugler's done paid his dues,
          Am        D               G
He's been hit down, yes on that highway
G                 Am
Dry your eyes and stand up straight
C                           G
Bugler's got a place at the pearly gates
    Am             D            G
Say goodbye sugar, ah, say goodbye
G               Am
Bugler, Bugler, bless your hide
C                          G
Jesus gonna take you for a chariot ride
    Am       D        G
Say goodbye, say goodbye
