The Bear Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]
Well, [D]there's a big blind

[Verse 1]
bear who roams
this road late [G]at night, they say
You'll see her in [D]the shadows as she
walks her lonely [G]way[D]
Through the backyard
beehives and wood[G]piles
She goes looking for her
long-lost [D]children
children
Or at least that's what they say
[G][C][D]

[Verse 2]
So, I sit here at my window where I
dream [G]someday she'll pass
I see rhododen[D]drons I planted and I think
how [G]time moves so [D]fast
Like the moon[G]light and
the electric light
Projecting pais[D]ley patterns
on the grass
[G]

[Verse 3]
[Am]
And I look down at the scar
[D]on my han[G]d
And I 'member the first
time I got [C]drunk[Am]
And I think of my [D]best friend back then,
[G]mmhm
How he slept with my girl[C]friend,
[Am]that punk

[Verse 4]
And I don't [D]know, no,
I don't [G]know
Where my memor[D]ies [C]should go[G]
Good and [C]the bad I cherish

[Interlude 1]
them so
[D][G][D][G]

[Verse 5]
[D]Well, I had a dream that I was in a mid-level
rock [G]rock 'n' roll band
Played every shit-home nightclub
[D]nightclub across this entire [G]land
[D]When I woke up I was glad to see
that I'd left that [G]life behind
But by then I [D]was bald,
boke and thirty-nine
Wasn't Wasn't exactly [G]my plan,

[Verse 6]
no no no
[D]So, I left the city lights and now I'm
liv[G]ing my own dream
Married the loc[D]al beauty queen,
built ourselves [G]a home
[D]Watching wavy water running
down [G]the stream
Making babies and rais[D]ing chickens
out here where [G]the buffalo roam
[Am]But late at night as the tall tree[D]s sway,
[G]our weary wor[D]ld weeps[C]
[Am]And the fire in the hill scared
all the [D]birds [G]away
And oh, so restless [C]we sleep[Am]
And I don't know, Lord, [D]I don't know

[Verse 7]
Oh, Lordy, I don't [G]know
how the story should end
[C]And[G] as I look up at that night sky,[C]
[G]music[C][G]
[C]begins
[G][C][G]

[Verse 8]
[C]
And stars are every[G]where[C]
Come on, come on, come on,
just take a [G]look up [C]there
They fill the darkest corners
[G]of the darkest air
And they [C]go where satellites
would nev[G]er ever [C]dare
And [D]then suddenly [C]over there I see the[G] bear
