Arlo Guthrie /Ground Hog chords
Start Jamming...
So I thought [A] I'd sing [E]
a ballad that we [G] wrote about a year ago.
[C#m]
[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.
[B]
There's not much you can do.
Now, 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.
[E]
[C#]
[E]
[F]
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#] [E]
[F#]
[B] [E]
[A] [E]
That's the part right [D] there.
[E]
[Bm]
[E]
[B]
Let's try it again.
[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]
I guess because most of my songs are longer.
[E]
Let's keep going with this [B] here.
[D#] [E]
[F#]
We are [A] for [E] you and we need less than running them over [C#m] in the middle [E] of the street.
Groundhog.
[F#]
[D#] [G#m] [B]
[E]
Sometimes you want to stop.
Here comes Terry with a cigarette and a grin.
Here comes Terry with a cigarette and a grin.
Groundhog, we float over his chin.
Groundhog.
Now if he keeps eating he might explode.
If he keeps eating he might explode.
Even them groundhogs off the road.
Groundhog.
[D#] [F#]
[B] [E]
Groundhog.
[A]
[B] [D]
[E] [G#m] Groundhog.
[A] [C#]
[E] Groundhog.
In his hole he [C#m] spurred.
