Cannibals  
E          A  E    C#mB  E
   -   -        -         x2
     E
Well he's daddy's little boy, he plays with his toys
                             A
He holds on to his daddy's hand
 B
His daddy says sonny you're a big strong boy, 
                              E
You're gonna be a big strong man 
And they go play catch, go play ball 
                           A
Go take a walk along the sand 
  B
Big strong daddy and a big strong boy 
                         E
Living in a big strong land 
 E
Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie 
                       A
daddy can I have a dinosaur 
 E
Once upon a time there were cannibals
                 C#m             B      E
now there are no cannibals anymore
solo * * * 
 E
Down in Louisiana theres a hurricane coming
                             A
The little boy climbs the stairs
 B
And all along the levee all the people come running
                                  E
And the little boys saying his prayers
And a sleepy little laddie smiles up at his daddy
                              A
And he's asking for his G.I. Joe
 B
And daddy tucks him in with a kiss upon the chin
                                  E
And says my little one I love you so
 E
Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie
                            A
Leave a light outside the door
 E
Once upon a time there were cannibals
                 C#m             B      E
now there are no cannibals anymore
SOLO  * * *  
 E
Lay down your head now dont get out of bed
                          A
Dont you let the bedbugs bite
  B
It's time to go to sleep now not another peep
                                 E
And Ill see you in the morning light
And then the radio was playing and the weatherman was saying
                         A
The hurricane had blown away
  B
And daddys little boy was jumping up for joy
                                    E
And he was singing at the break of day
E
Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie
                    A
Daddy can I be a warrior
 E
Once upon a time there were cannibals
                 C#m             B      E
now there are no cannibals anymore
E
Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie
                           A
Daddy why do people go to war
 E
Once upon a time there were cannibals
                 C#m             B      E
now there are no cannibals anymore
