Chords for Dakota the Dancing Bear, Pt. II

Betty drove the semi [D] she pulled up [A] to the pump
I thought I wanted a coca [B]-cola and I started out on [E] the job
[A] She said hold it Dave come [D] quick to something you [A] gotta see
That man is got a dancing bear right up to that old tree
[D] She said dance [A] dance you go to dance
[E] All around the country it [A] goes
Me and sweet Betty ain't never seen
[B] A bear that could dance [E] before
Well [A] it's a one step two step three step [D] four
He follows the floor [A] and he sings some more
Dance [E] dance you go to [D] dance
All around the country [A] it goes
_ Well these hippies walked up to the cage
[D] Giving pills to that [A] old bear
I don't know what it was they was giving to him
[B] And had him pulling [E] out his hair
[A] Tried to keep time to the music [D] lord
With the beat on my [A] tambourine
Gave in some wine from a mason jar
And we all began to sing
We [D] sang dance [A] dance you go to dance
All around the country it goes
Me and sweet Betty ain't never [B] seen
A bear that could [E] dance before
[A] Well it's a one step two step three step [D] four
He follows the [A] floor and he sings some more
Dance [E] dance you go to [D] dance
All around [A] the country it goes _
Well I went out to Los Angeles California
And [D] I saw a semi truck along the side of the [A] road
That said decode the dance bear on the [E] side of
Now they charge you fifty [A] cents
To watch this bear dance around a truck
[D] So I turned to Arlo and I [A] said Arlo
We ought to get down off these motorcycles
And [E] walk over there and see if that's the same bear
That [A] Betty told us about when she was driving
The semi [D] truck for us back in Nashville Tennessee
[A] So we got down off our motorcycles
And [E] we walked over there eating our pickles
[A] Now there was four or five hundred thousand
Of these [D] hippie freaks standing around
Waiting on a rock [A] festival
It appeared that David [E] Allen Coe
Chris Christopherson and the [A] Grand Fonfrey Road
Was playing in town that day
[D] And their airplane had got hijacked [A] somewhere
Over Chicago Illinois
[E] So it turned out that the people with short hair
[A] Started throwing rocks at the people that had [D] long hair
And the people with long hair [A] started throwing the rocks back
_ [E] _
We come to find out [A] in California
When they had a rock festival
[D] You were supposed to carry your own rocks
[A] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ Well I [A] walked up to the bear's cage
And the bear looked at me and he [D] said
I know you, you're David Allen Coe
And that's Arlo Guthrie that sings country and western music
On jukebox, radio and television
And y'all gave me some acid when I was in Nashville
And started me to dancing around this truck
And I said that's right son and that's why I'm here
Because you signed a contract with me
And you owe me twenty percent of all the money
You've been making since you've been out here on the road
He said man I ain't got no money
I said what'd you do with it
He pointed to the next cage and there was a female bear
Over there shooting up heroin
And before I could say anything I turned around
And I saw a greyhound bus painted black and white
And it said the David Allen Coe Show
The mysterious rhinestone cowboy
And the Tennessee hat man on the side of it
And there was a woman driving the bus
And sure enough it was old pusher Betty
And she didn't have no bra on
And she said to me she said
[A] Hey Dave come here [D] quick
There's something you gotta [A] see
That man has got a dancing bear
Tied up in that old tree
[D] Said dance, [A] dance, Dakota [D] dance
All around the [A] country floor
Me and sweet Betty ain't never [B] seen
A bear like [E] that before
[A] But if the one step, two step, three step, [D] four
Follow the [A] shoulder and it's time to roar
Dance, [E] dance, Dakota [D] dance
All around the [A] country floor
Howdy to letty [E] ho to letty [A] ho to letty ho _ _ _ _ _ _ _
