So I thought [A] I'd sing [E]
a ballad that we [G] wrote about a year ago.
[F#] Because it's hard, you know, when we were touring [C] all the [A#] time, we got big buses and we were driving down the road and stuff.
There's not much you can do.
our drummer Terry, he sits up front with a pair of binoculars and he looks for groundhogs.
[N]
That's what he does.
And God help us when he sees one.

_ We've got to stop the bus, _ _ _ pull over to the side of the road.
_ Everybody's got to get out.
He gives his _ instructions. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Starts taking pictures of the groundhog.
_ _ _ Then it's got to be like me and the groundhog. _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] Me and you, _ _ groundhog. _ _ _ _
[D] And Carol and _ Bob, you know.
_ He'll stop people going either way on the road.
And say, come on over and take a picture of all of us, would you?
With the [E] _ groundhog. _
_ _ _ _ _ So we wrote a song about it. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Sort of in the traditional _ _ _ style. _
_ _ And it goes [B] something like this.

I need your help tonight to sing [G#] this song because, _ _ well, _ it's not really hard, but _ _ _ I go like, _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ uh, _
_ _ _ _ _ _ You know, _ it's hard _ _ [D#] sometimes _ _ _ to complete a [E] song. _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ [D#] _ I can't [N] start in the middle of the song, _ which is why we've got to keep going back _ to the beginning. _ _ _
_ Well, _ _ _ I guess I could actually just go like, _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ groundhog.
_ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
