James Bender, I tried to e-mail this to you 2 or 3 days ago
and am not
sure if it made it or not. If so, sorry for cluttering up
your mail box.
If not, please post this on the netnews alt.guitar.tab.
This is my closest approx. to Mother Goose. The song is capoed
on the
fifth fret as the tuning indicates, although the finger positions
and what
chords are present are given as if the capo is position 0.
The song's
strumming and picking style necesitated some liberalization on
my part in
the tab. The intro (section 1) which is played at the beginning
and/or end
of each verse is repeated 2 to 4 times depending upon the
verse.

Saw at least a hundred school girls sobbing into handkercheifs
as one.
(Go to following after the second line of chorus.)
I don't believe they knew I was a school boy.

And the bearded lady said to me "If you start your raving

And the chicken fancier came to play, with his long red beard
and his sisters weird she drives a lorry.

Laughed down by the putting green I popped them in their
holes.
Four and twenty laborers were laboring and digging up their
gold.
I don't believe knew that I was Long John Silver.
Saw Johnny Scarecrow make his rounds in his jet black mac
which he won't give back, stole it from a snowman.
As I did walk by Hampstead Fair, I came upon Mother Goose
so I turned her loose as she was screaming.
Chorus
Walked down by the bathing pond to try and catch some sun.
Must have been at least a hundred school girls
