You have to figure out the strumming but once you do it's a cinch

Squid Lee

Once
A           F#m            Bm     Dm      A
When I was little someone pointed out to me
A           F#m            Bm     Dm      A
Some constellations but the big dipper's all I could see
A           F#m            Bm     Dm      A
That brontasaurus must have stood a thousand miles high
A           F#m            Bm     Dm      A
That brontasaurus laying on its side up in the sky

Chorus
Bm               Dm
Bottoms up and this time
A                F#m
Won't you let me be?
Bm               Dm
Bottled up but this time
A                F#m
Won't you rescue me?
E                 Bm                                              Dm (hold)
You should have been here last night and heard what the big dipper said to me

A                    F#m                  Bm     Dm      A
Jack thought it twice and thought that that that made it true
A                 F#m      
Some brains just work that way
            Bm      Dm      A
that's what chemicals can do
A                F#m            
 He thought he'd have a beer
  Bm      Dm      A
he thought he was alone
A                 F#m 
He thought an Albertson's stir fry 
       Bm      Dm      A
dinner would make his apartment a home

Chorus
Bm               Dm
Bottoms up and this time
A                F#m
Won't you let me be?
Bm               Dm
Bottled up but this time
A                F#m
Won't you rescue me?
E                 Bm                                              Dm (hold)
You should have been here last night and heard what the big dipper said to me


A                 F#m 
 I thought I bored me but 
         Bm       Dm      A
I learned to think like you
A                 F#m 
 Now nothing bores me 
                Bm       Dm      A
that's that nothing is thought through

Chorus
Bm               Dm
Bottoms up and this time
A                F#m
Won't you let me be?
Bm               Dm
Bottled up but this time
A                F#m
Won't you rescue me?
E                 Bm                                              Dm (hold)
