C
  We thought we heard a bear,
Am  
  We turned around to run,
Em
  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 of shot that big bear dead,
Em
  laid his skin out in the sun,
G
  and hang him up to dry with clothespins,

C
  and the town would think me brave,
Am
  Throw a party in my honor,
Em
  Mom would paint my face with deerblood,
G
  I'd enter like a god,

C
  and the bear'd be on a flagpole,
Am
  Wave to all the little boys and girls,
Em  
  Come spring he would disintegrate,
G
  and be reborn a plumber,

   C           Am             Em                 G  
So suddenly it seems to me, I ain't no artist, I ought to be 
    C              Am              Em                  G
The dirt along the ocean floor, So when it drains I'll float to shore,
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/h/hop-along/328484.html ]
    C               Am              Em
Now scathingly i'll throw the paint along my wall,
    G
and fall and faint,
   C                    Am                     Em                     G 
my bones will know just what to do, and by the break of dawn i will be new,

C
  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 bomb,

C
  I'd of blown the scoundrel up,
Am
  Watch his head and heart hiccup,
Em
  Erupt in tinsel and blue cinders 
G
  Turn august into winter,

C
  And we'd build a big snowman 
Am
  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 heaven,
Am
  be among his loves and brethren,
Em
  in the morning he'd wake up 
G
  to find himself reborn a bear,

   C           Am             Em                 G  
So suddenly it seems to me, I ain't no artist, I ought to be 
    C              Am              Em                  G
The dirt along the ocean floor, So when it drains I'll float to shore,

    C               Am              Em                 G
Now joyously i'll throw the paint along the mountains, Liberate,
   C                      Am                     Em                   G 
the blue all the seagulls will adore, they won't care for the fish any more,

    C         Am        Em        G
any more, any more, any more, any more,

        C               Am
I guess i...i will wake up,
                 Em
I'll shake this off,
             G
I'll call my cousins,
        C                    Am
miss my brother my father my mother,
       Em            G
and my big sister in new mexico,

  C     Am            Em     G
i don't recall it was just a dream, (soft)

  C     Am            Em     G
i don't recall it was just a dream, (loud)

         C     Am                   Em                       
but if i see a bear i hope it might come back, come back, 
                   G          
might come back to me.   (End on C)
