Chris Rice - Billy Joe Mcguffrey chords

Highlighted       Show chord diagrams
I could not find any versions that sounded right so I put the chords together 
myself. Chords all repeat on the other verses and choruses, and the last "D" chord 
of each plays along to each syllable of the singing. Enjoy.

D   G                         C
Now Billy Joe McGuffrey was a really clumsy kid 
       D                              G
On the first day of first grade, I'll tell you what he did 
G                             C
He tripped over a pencil box, flew up in the air 
D                                           G
Landed on a kangaroo who pulled out all his hair

Sniffed a baby's breath and got a bee caught up his nose
