Topic: "Got the Gotta Goes"

This little bit of whimsy uses the classic I, VI, IV, V chord set like a lot of classic 50's songs.
I think it' fun to play - sort of silly tongue twister, but that was intentional.

Got the Gotta GoesJames McCormick, July 10, 2008


Gotta [G]get my stuff together, gotta [Em]get myself in gear


Got to [C]gotta get on my way, gotta [D]get it on out'a here


Gotta [G]move it, move it, move it now, [Em]don't be so slow


Got to [C]gotta put a move on it, I [D]got . . . the gotta [G]goes . . . [D7] . . .




[G]Got the gotta goes, I [Em]got the gotta goes


Gotta [C]git it on on out'a here, I [D]got the gotta goes



Gotta [G]git it on on out'a here, [Em]gotta hit the road


Gotta [C]go, go, go-go-go, I [D]got . . . the gotta [G]goes . . . [D7] . . .




[G]Ain't no need to think about it, [Em]ain't no need to talk


[C]Hop, skip, jump, run, [D]boogie, roll, or walk


[G]Time is time, time is tockin', [Em]time is tickin' by


I [C]got the got to gotta goes, [D]time . . . to say 'Good-[G]bye'.

Grand fun song James,

It is very easy to play and the chord progression just comes very naturally.
