Goose Creek Symphony

Hey skullshot, welcome to the forum. I found "Welcome to Goose Creek" on youtube but I didn't hear the lyrics you mentioned above so perhaps it has a different title. Here's the link if you want to check it out to see if this is the correct song.

There are several Goose Creek Symphony tunes on youtube, if this is not the correct song maybe you can search through them and find the one your looking for.

Hope this helps

Hi SkullShot, welcome to Chordie,

  Wow, I have posted several topics on Goose Creek Symphony here on Chordie, I'm as big a fan as any when it comes to Goose Creek and Front man Charlie Gearheart. I know the song as well as many others they have done, even have the chords to several. "Welcome to Goose Creek" is their signature song, it's the first song they sing at every stop they make.I have the words and chords to it as well.

  I've seen Goose Creek at least 60 to 70 times since the early 70's. The only two original members left are Charlie Gearheart and Paul Spradlin "Pearl" as they call him. Recently at a private farm in Kentucky all the original members got back together at an event they hold every year now called "Goose on the Lake" , anyway I've met Charlie and the guys many times, use to spend lots of time in South Carolina at a friends home with them, they even have a song on one of thier albums about that friend of mine from there.

  Also on their website, "which has changed now", so it's not there, I got to leaving messages with "Willard" who use to be in the orignal band, he gave me chords to several of their songs, as I said that has been taken down now, but I have them, anyway, getting back to your question, I have all the lyrics to that song if you couldn't understand from that video, let me know if you still need them, I'll be more than happy to help with what I can.

Hi Skullshot,

  Here's a link to Goose Creek Symphony's website     http://goosecreeksymphony.com/

  There are most of their albums there for sale if you click on discography, they have albums as well as other things. As far as you mentioning tabs or chords, either is fine, just whats easier for you. They changed their website recently and all the albums aren't there, they started in 1972, and were the headliners at concerts for years, with bands like Marshall Tucker, Charlie Daniels,  and lots of other Southern Rock bands up until the 80's ish I think they called it off for awhile, but at some point Charlie Decided he hadn't had enough, so he and pearl put a band back together and play a limited amount of shows every summer, here in North Carolina, Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee, and a couple of other places.

  Charlie has a few health problems now, so I'm not sure how much longer he'll be touring, so next summer when they play, if you get a chance to see them, I'd take it. They are on of those bands that sound better live, than they do on recordings, or maybe it's just the type of people they draw, or maybe it's just me. One more link I'll leave you is one off their new album. He's at Grimeys music store in Nashville, hope you enjoy it!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NR4yNO1rJPo

Your Welcome Kap,

  I've loved this band since their inception, back in the 70's, some of the youtube videos are kinda bad, taken by cancorders and such, but recently some that have been posted with much better quality. I'm glad you enjoyed them though.
