From: Erik Karlson <stabnste@phoenix.phoenix.net> Mandaddy By Dana Cooper As performed by Trout Fishing in America on the album "Who Are These People" This is an approximation for those who are guitar-challenged. The chord struc ture is correct, as is the key, but Ezra does play some rather interesting chords that are unintelligible to me!!

^ESummer is coming, catfish are jumping The willows are ^Dweeping up the r^Aiver Mandaddy's wa^Egon comes rattling and dragging His magical r^Aoute ^B He's bringing ghost s^Etories and bright penny whistles White Chinese m^Duzzles in tins of g^Alory Look on the ^Ehorizon and see the dust ro^Dlling d^Aown the r^Eoad

Chorus:

My na^Bme is Mandaddy and I ro^Aam these h^Eills I sin^Bg and I whistle and I'll ^Acure your i^Ells Oh Ma^Andaddy, Oh Ma^C#mndaddy's gonna cure your i^F#lls Man^Bdaddy's gonna cure your i^Ells

He w^Ealks like a farmer, talks like warm water Smells like to^Dbacco and gun p^Aowder He's bringing red g^Earters and bright copper kettles and brown leather s^Ahoes ^B He says, "^EI remember when your folks was young'uns Laughing and ru^Dnning in Indian su^Ammer They'd watch the h^Eorizon and see the dust r^Dolling d^Aown the r^Eoad!"

Chorus

Everything ch^Eanges, it's only natural Nothing re^Dmains as it once s^Atarted This time next su^Emmer I may not be here, hear what I say Children I lov^Ee you, you make life worth living The rivers worth cr^Eossing the gifts worth ^Agiving Look on the ho^Erizon and see the dust roll^Ding d^Aown the ^Eroad
