Sorry, GUEST. My access to mp3 is presently restricted. In a few hours I will try to listen and I'll post the chords (unless someone beats me to it). Best I can do for now.

I heard a bit of it. Would some one who is a pianist with a penchant for jazz-type chords please listen to the song and post the chords for guest? He's goin' nuts with this--no offense, guest.

I couldn't find a complete mp3 file of this, only a couple of short excerpts, from which I transcribed this.
(I know it's not chords, but posting this might provoke someone else to come up with the chords. I've seen it happen.)

AL THE GOOSE a.k.a. ME AND MY GOOSE
Arlo Guthrie

...Al.
We had some very good times,
Me and my goose.
His name was Al
And he cost only a dime.

Over meadows we'd stray,
Playin' all day.
I missed him at night until dawn.
One day I found
He wasn't around.
I wondered where Al could have gone.

I looked ev'rywhere.
He just wasn't there....

Hi, I've figured out the song on the piano (https://soundcloud.com/sauldevlin/me-and-my-goose) and these seem to be the chords for the song (with passing notes to make the melody) yet this is the simple version of the song. Try it out on the guitar, it should work fine.


Eb             C
Me and my goose
G7             Cm
Me and my pal
F#                C#            Bb
We had some very good times
Eb       C
Me and my goose
G7                Cm
His name was Al
F#               Bb       Eb
And he cost only a dime

F7                            Bb
Over meadows we'd stray
Eb             B
Playing all day
F#                   C#             Bb
I missed him at night until dawn

Eb                  C
Then one day I found
G7             Cm
He wasn't around
F#                         Bb                Eb
I wondered where Al could have gone

Eb                C
I looked everywhere
G7                Cm
he just wasn't there
F#                   C#               Bb
Where could a goose be all day
Eb            C
I miss my pal
G7          Cm
I miss my Al
F#                         Bb                   Eb
It's sad that things turned out this way

       F                         Bb
Then mom brought him in
    Eb                B
I remember her grin
F#                     C#                Bb
Stuffed with his feet pointed straight

    Eb          C
I'll never forget
      G7                Cm
The night that we ate
    F#            Bb            Eb
Al off of the old yellow plate
