G5                     D5 
Happy hunting ground, happy hunting ground  
           G5        D5       
They don't talk or act like you do 
      G5                      C5         
Happy hunting ground, happy hunting ground  
                   D5         G5  
No they sure don't look like you  
 

G5                          C5 
Who, what, when, where and why everyday  
                  D5 
Identify every disease  
  C5                  G5            C5                     D5 
I drew a blank in my language and latin and spanish and greek  
G5                          C5 
Thrown out, thrown out, so happy at first  
                            D5 
I danced 'til I wore out my shoes  
    C5                 G5        C5                       D5 
Now I'm in trouble, I know it, please let me back into school  
 
Chorus: 
G5                 D5 
Back in the happy hunting ground  
      C5              D5  
Where all around are fair, fair game  
G5                D5 
I need the happy hunting ground  
       C5                       G5  
'Cause all around it's not the same  
 
How to say it, and not to offend  

Well, you're still inside it's OK  

As soon as a girl leaves the refuge, out go the reason they're great  

Hips are spreading, and never a smile  

They always demand that they drive  

Well, I've got to get back inside there where at least they're alive  
 
Chorus  
 
Happy hunting ground, happy hunting ground  

They can sort of dance like you do  

Happy hunting ground, happy hunting ground  

But they just can't last like you  
 
Some are coming to learn how to read  

Others to learn how to write  

But I want a better selection it's larger but poorer outside  
 

G5               D5  
It's fair, fair game inside  
C5               D5 
It's fair, fair game inside etc. 
 
Chorus  
 
It's fair fair game inside etc.
