The Bug Song Chords by Stompin Tom Connors

_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
Now when the good old holidays roll around, I'm the [Dm] kind of a guy that likes to be found
[E] just taking it easy and laying around, [A]
doing nothing.
_ But I take my chair and I sit on the lawn and [D] just when all my cares are gone, [E] about
a million bugs start carrying on and [A] I'm cussing.
_ _ Some caterpillar from up some tree [D] decides as far as he can see, [E] there's nothing to do
but to fall on me, the [A] damn worm. _
And a dirty old fly just making it clear that he ain't [Dm] had a bath for over a year, so he's
taking one now in my glass of beer to [A] lose germs.
_ Bugs, bugs, bugs, if [D] I had them all in jugs, I'd dig, dig, dig, till a big, big hole was
dug, dug, dug, dug, dug.
And that would be the [A] end of the bug song. _
[E] That would be the end of [A] the bug song.
Well I try to sleep when I get the chance, [D] but you just can't trust them cursed ants,
they're never [E] satisfied till they're in your pants [A] and you're crawling.
_ _ With a spider web right across the face, [D] I'm looking around for a better place,
[E] till a couple of hornets take up the chase and [A] I'm howling.
_ Well I hit for the house and I hold my breath [D] till I find some stuff in the medicine [E] chest
for the welch I got on the spot you guessed [A] where I'm sitting. _
And the wife gets mad cause I forgot [D] to get stuff for the fleas, our kitten caught [E] off
some old dog on the neighbor's lot and [A] she's ripping.
_ _ Bugs, [A] bugs, bugs, [D] if I had them [E] all in jugs, I'd dig, dig, dig, till a big, big hole was
dug, dug, dug, dug, dug.
And that would be the end [A] of the bug song.
_ [E] That would be the end of the bug song. _
Well I chased that moth from the middle drawer that [D] chewed the clothes I used to
wore [E] and I jammed my thumb on the bedroom [A] door trying to catch him.
_ And I'm sure the mosquitoes all know their skill [D] cause one pried up my
window sill [E] and he limped through the air with a broken drill and [A] I'm scratching.
_ Now you might think I'm a little bit rough [D] cause I don't take to that nature [E] stuff but
I think I've just about had enough of [A] them bugs.
_ _ Now your backyard might be okay [D] but I'm going down to buy some [E] spray cause my little
place is walking away with [A] them bugs. _ _
Bugs, bugs, bugs, [D] if I had them [E] all in jugs, I'd dig, dig, dig, till a big, big hole was
dug, dug, dug, dug, dug.
And that would be the end [A] of the bug song.
[E] That would be the end of the [A] bug song.
I'm [E] gonna dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig. _ _ _
