	        D 
He was a famous trumpet man from out Chicago way 
                          A 
He had a boogie style that no one else could play 
                     G 
He was the  top man at his craft 
                    D 
But then his number came up and he was gone with the draft 
                  A 
He's in the army now, a-blowin' Greveille 
G           D                                                    C                 D B 
He's the boogie woogie bugle Bmboy of Company B 
D 
They made him blow a bugle for his Uncle Sam 
                         A 
It really brought him down because he couldn't jam 
                   G 
The captain  seemed to understand 
                    D 
Because the next day the cap' went out and drafted a band 
                      A 
And now the company jumps when he plays Greveille

G         D      Bm     D     Bm     D                 B 
He blows it eight-to-the-bar, in boogie rhythm 
                                                                                          D 
He can't blow a note unless the bass and guitar is playin   with him 
                      A 
He makes the  company jump when he plays Greveille

G         D      Bm     D     Bm     D                       B 
And when he plays he makes the company jump eight-to-the-bar

He can't blow a note if the bass and guitar isn't with 'im 
                       A 
A-a-a-and the company jumps when he plays reveille

D 
He puts the boys asleep with boogie every night 
                     G 
And wakes 'em up the same way in the early bright 
                    D 
They clap their hands and stamp their feet 
                  A 
Because they know how he plays when someone gives him a beat 
B 
He really breaks it up when he plays reveille

A-a-a-and the company jumps when he plays reveille
