Chords in this song · guitar

[Verse 1]

Gump sat alone

on a bench in the park

"My name is Forrest,"

he'd casually remark

Waitin' for the bus with his

hands in his pockets

He just kept sayin' life

is like a box of chocolates

[Chorus]

He's Gump, He's Gump

What's in his head?

He's Gump, He's Gump, He's Gump

Is he in-bred?

[Verse 2]

Gump was a big celebrity

He told JFK that

he really had to pee

He never feels too dumb because

His mom always told him

stupid is as stupid does

[Chorus]

He's Gump, He's Gump

He's kinda square

He's Gump, He's Gump, He's Gump

What's with that hair?

[Bridge]

A G

Run... run... run, run, now Forrest

A G

Run... run... run like the wind now

A G

Run... run... run, run, now Forrest

A. G

Run... stop!

[Verse 3]

His buddy Bubba was

a shrimp-lovin' man

His friend with no legs

he called Lieutenant Dan

His girlfriend Jenny

was kind of a slut

He went to the White House,

showed LBJ his butt

[Chorus]

He's Gump, He's Gump

He's not too bright

He's Gump, He's Gump, He's Gump

But he's alright

[Outro]

Is this Gump out of his head?

I think so

Is this Gump really brain dead?

I think so

Did this Gump make lots of bread?

I think so

And that's all

I have to say about that
