While I was still in elementary school
                    C      G*Gsus4
I discovered Daddy's tools
                  Em                     C        G    Gsus4(normal)    
     And amassed a small pile, of scrap lumber
                         C     G*Gsus4 
     And I built a rabbit box
                        C       G*Gsus4
     And I set it facing north
     EmBut I caught a Cpossum and a Gkitten
Both of Dwhich were a Cbitch to set Gfree
Cause I thought Dthey was a-gonna biGte meC  
CBut we all three escaped safeGly
                              C      G*Gsus4
Well once I took my single shotgun
                         C      G*Gsus4
     And put on my camouflage
     EmAnd hid in the neighbour's CpastuGre bGsus4y the little cow pond
                           C      G*Gsus4
And finally after a long time
                      C       G*Gsus4
A bunch of doves flew by
     EmAnd landed in a hCuddle on the Gpower line
And so I Daimed with an eagGle's eCye and fired
But it was Gtwo pigeons that fell like Dbean bags into the Cweeds

Well they sure looked like doves to me
