C (x32010@1) We thought we heard a bear,
Am (x02210@1)
We turned around to run,
Em (022000@1) Me and my cousins one by one,
G (320003@1) Thought man if i had a gun,
C (x32010@1) I'd have shot him in the head,
Am (x02210@1) I'd of shot that big bear dead,
Em (022000@1) laid his skin out in the sun,
G (320003@1) and hang him up to dry with clothespins,
C (x32010@1) and the town would think me brave,
Am (x02210@1) Throw a party in my honor,
Em (022000@1) Mom would paint my face with deerblood,
G (320003@1) I'd enter like a god,
C (x32010@1) and the bear'd be on a flagpole,
Am (x02210@1) Wave to all the little boys and girls,
Em (022000@1)
Come spring he would disintegrate,
G (320003@1) and be reborn a plumber,
C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1) G (320003@1)
So suddenly it seems to me, I ain't no artist, I ought to be
C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1) GThe (320003@1)dirt along the ocean floor, So when it drains I'll float to shore,
C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) EmNow (022000@1)scathingly i'll throw the paint along my wall,
Gand (320003@1)fall and faint,
C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1) G (320003@1)my bones will know just what to do, and by the break of dawn i will be new,
C (x32010@1) We thought we saw a man,
Am (x02210@1) We could not see a gun,
Em (022000@1) so my brother said move on,
G (320003@1) thought man if i had a bomb,
C (x32010@1) I'd of blown the scoundrel up,
Am (x02210@1) Watch his head and heart hiccup,
Em (022000@1) Erupt in tinsel and blue cinders
G (320003@1) Turn august into winter,
C (x32010@1) And we'd build a big snowman
Am (x02210@1) out of his pancreas and glitter,
Em (022000@1) Grab a scarf so he won't shiver,
G (320003@1) it'll keep him nice and warm,
C (x32010@1) and the man he'd blow to heaven,
Am (x02210@1) be among his loves and brethren,
Em (022000@1) in the morning he'd wake up
G (320003@1) to find himself reborn a bear,
C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1) G (320003@1)
So suddenly it seems to me, I ain't no artist, I ought to be
C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1) GThe (320003@1)dirt along the ocean floor, So when it drains I'll float to shore,
C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1) GNow (320003@1)joyously i'll throw the paint along the mountains, Liberate,
C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1) G (320003@1)the blue all the seagulls will adore, they won't care for the fish any more,
C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1) Gany (320003@1)more, any more, any more, any more,
C (x32010@1) AmI (x02210@1)guess i...i will wake up,
