De Bat (Fly In My Face)- from Boys in The Trees - 1978

(Capo on the 1st fret)

G           Am
Fly in me face
G           Am
Fly in me face
      C            C7         F          
Well I hope de bat he don't come out 
C6             G    
and fly in me face tonight

C                          F                       
Well I come home from a party
           C       
And I'm feelin' a little spaced
        C                 F
And I walk on in the kitchen and
C6    G           C
A bat fly in me face
                             F
Well de bat come down the chimney
             C              G
You see he wait in the fireplace
          C              C7               F
When he hear that I'm getting a little snack
    C6      G     C
De bat fly in me face


G           Am
Fly in me face
G           Am
Fly in me face
      C            C7         F          
Well I hope de bat he don't come out 
C6             G    
and fly in me face tonight

C                    F
De bat he rat got wings
C                      G
All the children know that
         C                     F
What I need to know from the Lord
            C6     G            C
Is how you get de wings on the cat
                      F
They say a bat's got radar
     C                  C
And he can fly through fan
C         F              F
But what I am afraid of is
C6            G      C
That he got another plan

G           Am
Fly in me face
G           Am
Fly in me face
      C            C7         F          
Well I hope de bat he don't come out 
C6             G    
and fly in me face tonight

                           F
One thing I forgot to tell you
   C             G
About the human race
       C          C7
Everybody get a little upset
F       C6  G           C
When a bat fly in they face

G           Am
Fly in me face
G           Am
Fly in me face
      C            C7         F          
Well I hope de bat he don't come out 
C6             G     C     C7  F C6 G C
and fly in me face tonight
