  E               G                      A                      E
Jay Ulysses Moses Hanson, Jay Ulysses a mountain man

                                      G              
Hid in the hills ‘cause his face was scarred from

     A                             E 
A wrestlin’ match with a grizzly bear

     D                                  A
He carved him a hole in the belly of a giant,

                  E
A giant oak tree

- - -

        E                 G                            A                   E
Now Jay Ulysses swore his vengeance on that grizzly bear

                                         G
He’d run through the hills screamin’ and a shoutin’

      A                            E
At bears that weren’t even there.

                     G                                              B7
People in the town would lay and shiver in their sleep

When he went,

 A                        E
Grr  --  ha – ha  - come on bear,

A                        E
Grr --  ha – ha – I’m gonna get you bear.

               D                   A                                             E
You see Jay Ulysses Moses Hanson, why he was ravin’ mad.

 E                   G                   A                   E
Jay Ulysses Moses Hanson, Jay Ulysses a mountain man,

                                                    G
You’d better start runnin’ when you hear him comin’

                   A                                E
‘cause he’s out there lookin’ for the grizzly bear

E  A, E  A, (laughing)

    E               G                   A                             E
Jay Ulysses Moses Hanson finally cornered that grizzly bear
  
   E                   G
Legend says, outside of the town

              A                              E
That the two giants met out on open ground,

 D                   A                                            E
Jay Ulysses Moses Hanson - - and the grizzly bear.

   E                                    G
Three days later, when the dust had settled,

    A                                      E
Ulysses and the bear weren’t there,

                           G
The people said “hey, it’s finally over”,

              A                   E
But the story didn’t end there,

                    G
‘cause, on a still night, deep in the hills,

                           B7
If you listen you’ll hear

A               E
Ha – Ha – come on bear,

A              E
Ha – ha – I’m gonna get you bear, well there they go,

                          G
There the hill is smoking - - -

       A                                       E
Big Jay Ulysses and that grizzly bear,

  E                                        G
Well here he comes – it’s big Jay Ulysses Moses Hanson, the mountain man

   E                                        G
Well here he comes – it’s big Jay Ulysses Moses Hanson, the mountain man

  E                                        G
Well here he comes – it’s big Jay Ulysses Moses Hanson, the mountain man


They call hi Jay Ulysses Moses Hanson, chasin’ the grizzly bear.
