strum each chord once]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nIn the woods, in the mountains there's a good place to begin[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nThe song about a black bear living in his black bear den[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nDoing all the black bear things a black bear just might do[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nI hope in my next lifetime I could be a black bear too[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nAnd here comes black bear now, crashing through the brush[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]F[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nUnfazed by thorns and branches that would hurt me to the touch[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nIn pursuit of some small animal, the food chain is a truth[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]F[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nAnd the bear has the advantage of the massive claw and tooth[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nBut he'll also stop for berries or honey from the bees[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nOr nuts that he can shake down from the canopy of trees[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nAnd afterwards he'll have his choice from any stream to drink[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nWhile I'll fill up another cup from my old kitchen sink[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nAnd if he wants he'll have a nap and dream his black bear dreams[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nThat I could only dream of like I dream I drink from streams[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nAnd as he sleeps he hears a breeze and knows that he is safe[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nWhile I'm sleeping with the fan on to drown out my lack of faith[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Chorus]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nThe simplicity of solitude it's a hard thing to perfect[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nStealing happiness from loneliness is not a simple theft[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nA black bear has it figured out and gets what he deserves[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nAnd the fur that he is wearing is the fur that he prefers[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Bridge Strum each chord once]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nAnd when he stared across the river into my eyes it made me shiver[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nAnd I knew that it was lovely to have a black bear thinking of me[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nAnd when he thinks, he is thoughtful and when he rests he is restful[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nAnd when he runs he runs the fastest he spins the earth right on its axis[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nAnd that's his gift to all showing us the sun[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]F[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nKeeping time for everyone a steady beating drum[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nAnd all the dirt he bounds upon he'd leave his heavy tracks[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nThat is deep when he is young and blue but deepest when he's black[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nCause colour for the black bear is a synonym for age[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nIf I were one then I'd be in my cinnamon phase[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nInstead I am 22 and the decades weight a ton[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nThis new century's essentially a bullet from the gun[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nIt takes coffee pots that cost a lot just to stay abreast[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nBut coffee hits my sense of loss and makes a nervous wreck[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nThe simplicity of solitude is a hard thing to perfect[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nStealing happiness from loneliness is not a simple
