_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [E] _ Well, I explained to you [A] all before, I ain't no drinking [E] man. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I tried it once and [Am] it got me highly irregular and I swore I'd never [A] do it again.
[E] _ _ _ _
_ _ But I promised my brother-in-law that I'd go up [Am] and watch his still while he went into town [A] to vote.
_ _ [E] _ He was right up on the mountain where the map said it would be.
_ _ Friends, let me tell you one [Am] thing, though, it was no ordinary still. _
[E] It stood up on that mountainside like _ [A] _ _ a huge golden oak.
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _
God's yellow moon was shining on the cool clear evening.
_ [A] _ _ God's little lantern was twinkling on and off in the heavens.
_ [E] Well, I explained to you once before, I ain't no drinking man.
_ [A] The temptation got the best of me _ and I took a [E] slash.
_ _ _ Whoa!
_ _ _ _ [A] That yellow whiskey running down my throat like honey dew vine [C] water and I took [E] another slash.
_ _ _ _ Took another and another and another.
[A] _ _ Boy, you knew it, I downed one whole jug of that shit and it began to get hot [E] flashy. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] Hot tempers was running up down my body and a feeling came [C] over me like something I'd [E] never experienced before. _ _ _
Like, _ [A] like I was in love.
_ Let me have a little love, Mike.
_ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] In love for the first time _ with _ _ [E] _ _ anything that moved me.
_ _ _ _ [A] _
Animal in [Am] animal, it didn't matter.
[A] _ It's like there's a [Em] great neon sign flashing on and off of my brain saying,
Jimmy Buffett, [Am] there's a great day a-coming. _
_ _ Cause I [E] was drunk. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ I wasn't knee crawling, _ _ [E] _ _ slip sliding, _ _ _ Reggie younging, [A]
the mode hugging drunk. _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] I was God's own drunk, _ _ [A] _ _ fearless man.
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _
That's when I first saw the bear. _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [Eb] He was a Kodiak looking [C] fella, about 19 [E] feet tall.
He rambled up over the hill expecting me to do one or two things.
[Am] Flip replied, I didn't do either one, it [A] hung him up. _
_ _ [E] _ He starts sniffing around my body trying to smell [G] fear, but he ain't gonna [A] smell no fear cause I'm God's own drunk and a fearless man.
[E] It hung him up. _
_ _ _ He looked me right in my eyes and my eyes was a [A] lot redder than his was.
It hung him up.
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
So I approached him and I said, uh, _ _
[Am] Mr.
Bear, _ _ _ [G] _ _
[A] I love every hair on your [E] 27 acre body.
_ _ _ _ [A] _
I [Em] know you got a lot of friends over there on [A] the other side of the hill.
[E] _ There's [B] old rare bear, tall bear, pretty [E] bear, Kelly Jerry, really bear, [A] smell of the bear, smoke of the bear, poke of the bear.
I _ want you to go back [E] over there tonight and tell them how I'm feeling right.
_ _ You tell them I [Am] love each and every one of them like a brother and a sister.
_ _ _ [E] But if they give me any trouble tonight, _ _ _ _ [Am] I'm gonna run every God damn one of them off the hill. _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ He took two steps backwards and didn't know what to think.
_ _ [E]
Neither did I, but being charitable and cautious, well hell, I approached [A] him again.
_ _ _ I said, uh, _ Mr.
[E] Bear, _ _ _ you know, in the eyes of the Lord, we're both [A] beasts when it comes right down to it. _ _
[C] _ _ _ [E] So I want you to be my buddy, _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
Buddy Bear.
_ _ _ _ _ So I took [E] old Buddy Bear by his island-sized paw and I led him over to the still.
_ [A] Lazy sniffing around that thing because he's smelling something good.
_ _ I gave [Em] him one of them [E] jugs of honey dew by and mortar.
He downed it upright, looked like a little damn [A] bear from the circus sipping sarsaparilla in the moonlight.
_ _ I [Em] gave him another and another and another, before he knew it, he downed eight of them and commenced to do the bear [Am] dance.
_ _ Two sniffs of snore to fly, turn in and run.
It [E] was so simple, like the jitterbug it plummeted me.
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ And we worked ourselves into a tumultuous uproar and [E] I was off the tire.
_ _ Went over to the hillside and I laid down, [A] _ went to sleep, _ _ _ [E] slept for four hours and dreamt me some tremulous dreams.
_ _ [A] _
_ And when I woke up, _
_ [E] oh, there was God's yellow moon shining on the cool clear [G] evening.
_ [A] _ _ _ _
God's little [Am] lanterns was a-twinkling on and off in [E] the heavens.
_ _ My buddy the bear _ [A] was a-missing. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
Yeah, _ _ you want to know something else, [C] friends and neighbors?
[B] _ _ _ [C] _ So was that [E] still.
_ _ [A] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
That's a [A] take.
_ [Em] _ _ _ _
[A] Wait, could, uh, [D] _ _ _ you missed it? _ _ _ _ _ _ _
