Biography:
Natalie Anne Merchant (born October 26, 1963 in Jamestown, New York) is an American alternative rock singer-songwriter. After rising to fame at the helm of the popular folk-rock band 10,000 Maniacs, Natalie Merchant enjoyed even greater success as a solo artist during the mid-'90s. Her literate, socially conscious songs established her among the preeminent women in pop music, while her solo debut -- 1995's Tigerlily -- helped pave the way for a number of female performers in a pre-Lilith Fair market.

Here is the first verse. The rest is just like it but with different words.
Where it says stop, you could also just strum once of that chord.
Capo 1
D D
D
Isabel met an enormous bear,
D
Isabel, Isabel, she didnt care;
D --stop
The bear was hungry, the bear was ravenous,
D --stop
The bears big mouth was cruel and cavernous.
D
The bear said, Isabel, glad to meet you,
D
How do, Isabel, now Ill eat you
A
Isabel, Isabel, she didnt worry.
Em
Isabel didnt scream or scurry.
A
Washed her hands and she straightened her hair up,
Em D A
Then Isabel ate the bear up.
Once in a night black as pitch
Isabel met a wicked old witch.
Witchs face was cross and wrinkled,
Witchs gums with teeth were sprinkled.
Ho, ho, Isabel the old witch crowed,
Ill turn you into an ugly toad!
Isabel, Isabel, didnt worry,
Isabel didnt scream or scurry,
Showed no rage and she showed no rancor,
Turned the witch into milk and drank her.
Isabel met a hideous giant
Isabel so self-reliant.
The giant was hairy, the giant was horrid,
One eye there in the middle of his forhead.
Good morning, Isabel, the giant said,
Ill grind your bones to make my bread.
Isabel, Isabel, she didnt worry,
Isabel didnt scream or scurry.
Nibbled on his zwieback that she fed off,
And when it was gone, she cut the giant’s head off.
D
Isabel met a troublesome doctor,
D
Punched and poked and really shocked her.
D
The doctors talk was of coughs and chills
D
And the doctors satchel bulged with pills.
D
The doctor said whoa Isabel,
D
Swallow this, gonna make you well.
A
Isabel, Isabel, didnt hurry,
Em
Isabel didnt scream or scurry.
A
Took those pills from the pill concocter,
Em
Then Isabel cured the doctor.
