Skip chords and lyrics
Verse 1
He (C major) was (A minor) (C major) (A minor)
(C major) a
famous trumpet man
from up Chicago way
He had a boogie style
that no one else could play
He was the (F major) top man at his craft
But then his (C major) number came up
and he was gone with the draft
He's (A minor) in the (G major) army now
and blowin' (F major) reveille
He's the (C major) boogie -woogie
bugle boy of Company B
They made him blow a bugle
for his Uncle (A minor) Sam (C major)
It really brought him down
because he couldn't jam
The captain seemed (F major) to understand
Because the (C major) next day the cab went (A minor) out
and (C major) dropped it (A minor) in fan
And now the (G major) company jumps
when he plays (F major) reveille
He's (D minor) the (C major) boogie -woogie bugle boy,
I can't but it be
A -toot, a -toot,
a -toot -a -lee -ah -dee -toot
He blows it eight to the bar
In boogie rhythm,
(F major) he can't throw a note
Unless the bass and guitar
is playing (C major) with him
Makes the (G major) company jump
when he plays (F major) reveille
He's the (C major) boogie -woogie bugle boy
of Company B
He was the boogie -woogie bugle boy
of Company B (A minor) (C major)
(F major) And when he plays boogie
-woogie bugle
He's as (C major) busy as a bee
And (G major) when he plays he makes
the company jump
eight (F major) to the bar
He's the (C major) boogie -woogie bugle boy
of Company B
Doo -doo -lee -ah -dah,
doo -doo -lee -ah -dah
Doo -doo, he blows it eight to the bar
You (F major) can't blow a note
if your bass and guitar isn't (C major) flippin'
An (G major) d the company jumps
when he plays (F major) reveille
He's the (C major) boogie -woogie bugle boy
of Carpentry Feast (A minor) (C major) (F major) (C major)
(G major) (F major) (C major)
He puts the boys to sleep
with Boogie every night
And wakes them up the same way
in the early bright
They clap their (F major) hands and
stamp their feet
Because they (C major) know how he plays
when someone gives him a beat
He (F major) really (G major) breaks it up when
he plays (F major) Wibbly
He's the (C major) Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy
of Comfort and Beat
Da -da -da -da -do -da -do -da -da (F major) (C major)
And the (G major) company jumps
when he plays (F major) Reveille
He's the (C major) boogie -woogie
bugle for a company fee
