Smokey the Bear by Steve Nolan and Jack Rollins
Verse:
C
With a Ranger's hat and shovel and a pair of dungarees you will
Am D7 G7
find him in the forest always sniffin' at the breeze. People
C C7 F D7
stop and pay attention when he tells 'em to beware, 'cause
C Am D7 G7 C
everybody knows that he's the fire-preventin' bear.
Chorus:
F C F C
Smokey the Bear, Smokey the Bear. Prowlin' and a Growlin' and a
D7 G7 C C7 F D7
Sniffin' the air. He can find a fire before it starts to flame
C Am D7 G7 C
That's why they call him Smokey, that was how he got his name.
Verse 2:
C
You can take a tip from Smokey that there's nothing like a tree, cause
Am D7 G7
they're good for kids to climb in and they're beautiful to see. You just
C C7 F D7 C
have to look around you and you'll find it's not a joke. To see what you'd
Am D7 G7 C
be missing if they all went up in smoke
Chorus
Verse 3:
C
You can camp upon his doorstep and he'll make you feel at home, you can run
Am D7 G7 C
and hunt and ramble anywhere you care to roam. He will let you steal his
C7 F D7 C Am
honey and pretend he's not so smart. But don't you harm his trees cause he's
D7 G7 C
a ranger in his heart.
Chorus
Verse 4:
C
If you ever seen the forest when a fire is running wild, and you love the
Am D7 G7 C
things within it like a mother loves her child, then you know why Smokey
C7 F D7 C Am
tells you when he sees you passing through, "Remember please be careful,
D7 G7 C
it's the least that you can do."
Chorus
