[Verse 1]
Em Am B7
Tonight I heard the wild goose cry, wingin' north in the lonely sky
Em Am Em Em
Tried to sleep but it was no use, 'cause I am a brother to the old wild goose
[Verse 2]
Em Am B7
Flip-flap hurry up take to the sky, wish I had wings so I could fly
Em Am N.C. Em Em
I hear the honker and the blue goose too, one went to Canada, the other just flew
[Chorus]
Em Am B7
My heart knows what the wild goose knows andI must go where the wild goose goes
Em C Em Am B7 Em
Wild goose, brother goose which is best? A wanderin' foot or a heart at rest?
(hoohoohoo)

The cabin is warm and the snow is deep and I got a woman who lies asleep.
Em Am Em Em
When she'll wake at tomorrow's dawn, she'll find poor critter that her man is gone
[Verse 4]
Em Am B7
My woman was kind and true to me, she thinks she loves me the more fool she
Em Am N.C. Em Em
She's gotta learn that it ain't no use, to love the brother of the old wild goose
[Chorus]
Em Am B7
My heart knows what the wild goose knows andI must go where the wild goose goes
Em C Em Am B7 Em
Wild goose, brother goose which is best? A wanderin' foot or a heart at rest?

[Verse 5]
Em Am B7
Spring is comin' and the ice will break, I can't linger for a woman's sake
Em Am N.C. Em Em
She'll see a shadow pass overhead, she'll find my feathers beside my bed
[Chorus]
Em Am B7
My heart knows what the wild goose knows andI must go where the wild goose goes

Wild goose, brother goose which is best? A wanderin' foot or a heart at rest?
(hoohoohoo)
