nothin'[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]                                             [ch]D[/ch]\r\n But I take my chair and sit on the lawn, and just when all my cares are gone[/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]E[/ch]                                      [ch]A[/ch]\r\nAbout a million bugs start carryin on, and I'm cussin'[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]                                     [ch]D[/ch]\r\n Some caterpillar from up some tree decides as far as he can see[/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]E[/ch]                                   [ch]A[/ch]\r\nThere's nothin to do but to fall on me, the damn

[ch]E[/ch]                                     [ch]A[/ch]\r\nSo he's takin' one now in my glass of beer to lose germs[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Chorus]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]     [ch]D[/ch]     [ch]A[/ch]          [ch]D[/ch]               [ch]E[/ch]\r\nBugs, bugs, bugs, if I had them all in jugs[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]E[/ch]\r\nI'd dig, dig, dig, till a big, big hole was dug, dug, dug, dug[/tab]\r\n[tab]

song[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Verse 2]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]                                                    [ch]D[/ch]\r\n Well, I try to sleep when I get the chance, but you just can't trust them cursed ants[/tab]\r\n[tab]              [ch]E[/ch]                                               [ch]A[/ch]\r\nThey're never satisfied till they're in your pants and you're crawlin'[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]                                             [ch]D[/ch]\r\n With a spider web right across the face, I'm lookin around for a better place[/tab]\r\n[tab]       [ch]E[/ch]                                           [ch]A[/ch]\r\nTill a couple of hornets take up the chase and I'm howlin'[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]                                                        [ch]D[/ch]\r\n Well, I head for the

[ch]D[/ch]     [ch]A[/ch]          [ch]D[/ch]               [ch]E[/ch]\r\nBugs, bugs, bugs, if I had them all in jugs[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]E[/ch]\r\nI'd dig, dig, dig, till a big, big hole was dug, dug,

                                         [ch]D[/ch]\r\n And I'm sure the mosquitoes all know their skill, 'cause one pryed up my windowsill[/tab]\r\n[tab]       [ch]E[/ch]                                                  [ch]A[/ch]\r\nAnd he limped through the air with a broken drill and I'm scratchin'[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]                                               [ch]D[/ch]\r\n You might
