C
We thought we heard a bear,
Am
We turned around to run,
Em
Me and my cousins one by one,
G
Thought man if i had a gun,

C
I'd have shot him in the head,
Am
I'd of shot that big bear dead,
Em
laid his skin out in the sun,
G
and hang him up to dry with clothespins,

C
and the town would think me brave,
Am
Throw a party in my honor,
Em
Mom would paint my face with deerblood,
G
I'd enter like a god,

C
and the bear'd be on a flagpole,
Am
Wave to all the little boys and girls,
Em
Come spring he would disintegrate,
G
and be reborn a plumber,

C Am Em G
So suddenly it seems to me, I ain't no artist, I ought to be
C Am Em G
The dirt along the ocean floor, So when it drains I'll float to shore,

C Am Em
Now scathingly i'll throw the paint along my wall,
G
and fall and faint,
C Am Em G
my bones will know just what to do, and by the break of dawn i will be new,

C
We thought we saw a man,
Am
We could not see a gun,
Em
so my brother said move on,
G
thought man if i had a bomb,

C
I'd of blown the scoundrel up,
Am
Watch his head and heart hiccup,
Em
Erupt in tinsel and blue cinders
G
Turn august into winter,

C
And we'd build a big snowman
Am
out of his pancreas and glitter,
Em
Grab a scarf so he won't shiver,
G
it'll keep him nice and warm,

C
and the man he'd blow to heaven,
Am
be among his loves and brethren,
Em
in the morning he'd wake up
G
to find himself reborn a bear,

C Am Em G
So suddenly it seems to me, I ain't no artist, I ought to be
C Am Em G
The dirt along the ocean floor, So when it drains I'll float to shore,

C Am Em G
Now joyously i'll throw the paint along the mountains, Liberate,
C Am Em G
the blue all the seagulls will adore, they won't care for the fish any more,

C Am Em G
any more, any more, any more, any more,

C Am
I guess i...i will wake up,
Em
I'll shake this off,
G
I'll call my cousins,
C Am
miss my brother my father my mother,
Em G
and my big sister in new mexico,

C Am Em G
i don't recall it was just a dream, (soft)

C Am Em G
i don't recall it was just a dream, (loud)

C Am Em
but if i see a bear i hope it might come back, come back,
G
might come back to me. (End on C)
