[Verse]
Em(add9) F#m
You're a bear foraging for a kill
G Gm
Your massive paws press down the snow
F#
I've got bare feet
Em(add9) F#m
Touching bark right above you silently
G Gm F#
I lower down my icy stare, you smell the air
Em(add9) F#m G Gm
I've got a samurai sword meant for you, polar bear
F#
I've got a grizzly look in my eye
Em(add9) F#m G
You aim to drag me back down underground to gorge
Gm F#
You want my blood all over your face
Em(add9) F#m
But I'm plummeting through branches towards you now
G
Feeling still (samurai Phil)
Don't move to Gm on the last line, let the G ring out.
