        This song is relatively easy to play but that doesn't stop it from
sounding cool. It's highly unlikely that I could have screwed up this
transcription given the simplicity of the song. Nonetheless,
corrections,comments or questions are still welcome at meunier.1@osu.edu
Have fun with it.

        "Didgeriblues"(Gordon Gano,Brian Ritchie)

That's basically it. Just play that until the end of the song and then end
on something like this:

The lyrics go like this:

   Once I knew a dude who blew the didgeridoo
   He knew a girl who he decided to woo too
   Under her balcony with a didgeridoo
   and did she know you who do the didgeridoo too
   if you knew she'd do, who do the didgeridoo

   Then a baby came one day
   and Daddy would stay by the cradle to play
   koochie koochie koo(2x)
   on his trusty didgeridoo
   and did she know you who do the didgeridoo too
   if you knew she'd do who do the digeridoo

   When A & R Man heard that rumble
   he signed him up man with quite a little bundle
   Made a record, in L.A.
   where I hear the people still will say
   damn, that cat, he really blew
   He knew what to do on the didgeridoo
  
   Now all over the world this song debuts
   it's hitting the charts
   all number ones and number twos
   This song has swept the nations
   The didgeridooblues

   Bet that she would love it too
   if you could do the didgeridoo
   And I bet that she would love you too
   if she knew you could do the didgeridoo(2x)
   (change riff)
   if she knew you who blew the didgeridoo
