Biography:
The Hold Steady is an American rock band based in Brooklyn formed by vocalist/guitarist Craig Finn (ex-Lifter Puller) in 2004. Wanting to capture the sound of bands such as The Replacements and The Grifters, Finn recruited guitarist Tad Kubler (also ex-Lifter Puller), drummer Judd Counsell, and bassist Galen Polivka. In 2005 the band grew to include Franz Nicolay (of The World/Inferno Friendship Society) on keyboards and Bobby Drake took over on drums following Counsell's departure.

[Verse 1]
G C
A bear there was, a bear a bear
G D
All black and brown and covered in hair
G C
Three boys, a goat, and a dancing bear
Am D
They danced and spun up to the fair
G C
Oh! Sweet she was, and pure and fair
G D
The maid with honey up in her hair
G C
He smelled her all on the summer air
Am C D
The maid with honey up in her hair
[Chorus]
Em C Em C
From there, to here, from here to there
G D C
All black and brown and covered in hair
Em C Em C
Smelt that girl on the summer air
G D G
The bear, the bear, and the maiden fair
[Verse 2]
Oh I'm a maid and I'm pure and fair
I'll never dance with a hairy bear
I called the knight, but you're a bear
All black and brown and covered in hair
[Chorus]
Em C Em C
From there, to here, from here to there
G D C
All black and brown and covered in hair
Em C Em C
Smelt that girl on the summer air
G D G
The bear, the bear, and the maiden fair
And that just about sums it up. This is my first tab, so the formatting may be a little
off, but the chords should be just about spot-on. Noticed there weren't any tabs for
this up yet, so decided to see if I could just piece it together by ear. Let me know if
there are any amendments to be made, otherwise, enjoy :)
