[Intro 1]
[Am][C][Em][C][Am][C][Am]
[Em][C][Am][Em][G]

[Verse 1]
[C](One,
two, three, four—)
We thought [Em]we heard a be[Am]ar
We turned around to [Em]run
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 have shot the big bear d[Em]ead
Lay his skin out in the sun
And [G]hang him up to dry with [Em]clothespins

[Verse 2]
And the town would [Em]think me [C]brave
[Am]Throw a party in my honor
[Em]Mom would paint my face in deer blood
[G]I'd enter like a God
And the [C]bear'd be on a flagpole
[Am]Wave to all the little [Em]boys
and girls
Come spring he would disintegrate
[G]And be reborn a plumber

[Verse 3]
So [C]suddenly [Am]it seems to me
[Em]I ain't no artist
[G]I oughta be the d[C]irt along
the [Am]ocean floor
[Em]So when it drains I'll f[G]loat to shore
Now [Em]scath[C]ingly,
I'll [Am]throw [F]the [Am]paint [Em]along my wall
And [G]fall and faint
My [C]bones will know just [Am]what to do
By the [Em]break of dawn
I will [G]be new
[Em]

[Verse 4]
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 [Em]bomb!"
I'd have blown the scoundrel [Am]up
Watch his heart and head hiccup
[Em]Erupt in tinsel and blue cinders
[G]Turn August into winter
[C]And we'd

[Verse 5]
[Em]build a big [C]snow[Am]man
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 [F]Heaven
Be [Am]among his [F]loves and brethren
[Em]And in the morning he'd wake up
to find him[G]self reborn a bear

[Verse 6]
So sud[C]denly [Am]it seems to me
[Em]I ain't no artist
[G]I oughta be the d[C]irt along
the [Am]ocean floor
[Em]So when it drains I'll f[G]loat to shore
Now [C]joyously,
I'll [Am]throw the paint [Em]along the mountains
[G]Liberate the [C]blue
All [Am]the seagulls will adore
[Em]They won't care for the fish [G]anymore
[C]Anymore, [Am]any more,
[Em]any more, anym[G]ore, anymore

[Verse 7]
I guess [C]I, [Em]I will wa[Am]ke up
[Em]I'll shake this off
I'll call [G]my cousins
I miss [C]my brothers,
[Em]my f[Am]ather, my mother
[F]And [Em]my big sister in[G] New Mexico
[Em]I do[C]n't reca[Am]ll
It was [Em]just a [G]dream
I [C]don't [Am]recall
It was [Em]just a [G]dream

[Verse 8]
(One, two, three, [Am]four—)
[C]I don't re[Am]call
It [Em]was just [G]a dream
But if I [C]see a bear I hope, I [Am]hope,
[Em]I hope I come back
It might come [G]back to me
It might come back [C]to me
