The Bear

Am F C

Intro

Am F C

In the hills above the town,

Am F C

In the backyard where my hunger has found me,

Am F C

Away by the shores and the banks,

Am C F

I’m just minding my way.

Am F C

Hollow opening where you can see,

Am F C

Seasons changed and awoke me,

Am F C

I am feared by those I’ve never even seen,

Am F C

But I, don’t mean to be.

Am F G

And oh, oh oh oh, I don’t want to scare

Am F G

And oh, oh oh oh, I’ll leave if I hear you there

Am F G

And oh, oh oh oh, I’ll only fight if I need to

Am F G

But I’d rather run I swear

Am F C

You’ve laid out your boundaries,

Am F C

Of where I can and cannot go,

Am F C

If only these boundaries I could plainly see,

Am F C

I wouldn’t cross them you know

Am F G

And oh, oh oh oh, I don’t want to scare

Am F G

And oh, oh oh oh, I’ll leave if I hear you there

Am F G

And oh, oh oh oh, I’ll only fight if I need to

Am F G

But I’d rather run I swear

Am F C
