The Andy Griffith Show

• G

INTRO: G 

           C                     G 
That old evening news is sure depressing 
      C                                   G 
This world is in a mess and it don't get better 
     C                                   G          Em 
Terrorism's in fashion and even love can kill you 
       C                              D 
Oh but I have found a better place to go 


We're all livin' in the shadow of the bomb 
Tuned in to the lifestyles of the rich and greedy 
Oh but meanwhile back in Mayberry no one says the "F" word 
Thank God for the reruns 


        G                    C              C/G         G 
On the Andy Griffith Show, Angie's letting Otis out of jail 
 C               C/G              G 
Gomer's helpin' Goober drive the mail 
         C                                          G        G/F#     Em 
Oh and Barney's lookin' for his bullet, you better watch out for your toes 
        C                 D            G 
I wish life was like the Andy Griffith Show 


Now they're dealing in souls on the airwaves 
All them false profits tryin' to make a buck 
But old Floyd the barber, he just goes on trimmin' hair 
And we ain't heard the last of Ernest T. Bass you know 


CHORUS: 

On the Andy Griffith Show, Aunt B's cookin' lamb and turnip greens 
Now everyone dance while the Darlins pick and sing 
Yeah that old kid's diggin' worms to go fishin' don't ya know 
I wish life was like the Andy Griffith Show 


Thelma Lou told Wanita to call Helen Crump 
Then round up Clara and Emmett and Howard Spray 
There's a town meeting down at Andy's office 
Barney's gonna try to take us all back in time 


CHORUS: 

To the Andy Griffith Show, the biggest hastle there was makin' moonshine 
They sat swingin' on the porch with an easy mind 
Oh and maybe it was unreal, but when this old world blows 
I hope I end up on the Andy Griffith Show 
I wish life was like the Andy Griffith Show
