_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [E] _ Well, I'll explain [A] to y'all before I ain't no [E] drinking man. _ _ _ _ _
I tried it [Am] once and it got me highly irregular and [A] I swore I'd never do it again.
[E] _ _ _ _ But I promised my brother-in-law that I'd go up [Am] and watch his still while he went into town to vote.
[E] _ He was right up on the mountain where the map said it would be.
_ [Am] Friends, let me tell you one thing, though, it was no ordinary still.
[E] _ It stood up on that mountainside like, [A] _ like a huge golden oak. _
_ _ [E] _ God's yellow moon was shining on the cool, clear evening.
[A] _ _ God's little lanterns were twinkling on and off in the [E] heavens.
Like I explained to you once before, I ain't no drinking man.
[A] _ The temptation got the best of [C] me and [E] I took a slash.
_ Oh, _ _ [A] that yellow whiskey running down my throat like honey dew, vine water, and I took another [E] slash.
_ _ Took another and another and [A] another.
Before you knew it, I'd had one whole jug of that shit and it began to get [E] hot flashes. _ _ _ _
_ [A] Goose pimples was running up down my body and a feeling came over me [Am] like something I'd never [E] experienced before. _ _
Like, [A] like I was in love.
Let me have a little love, Mike.
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ In love for the first time _
_ [E] _ with anything that moved me. _ _
_ [A] _ [Am] Animal in animal, it [A] didn't matter.
It's like [Em] there's a great neon sign flashing on and off in my brain saying,
Jimmy [Am] Buffett, there's a great day a-coming.
[A] _ _ Cause I [E] was drunk. _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ I wasn't knee crawling, _ [E] _ slip sliding, _ Reggie youngin, [A] _ commode hugging drunk.
_ [C#m] _
_ [E] _ I was God's own drunk.
_ [A] _ _ Fearless man. _ _
_ [E] _ That's when I first saw the bear. _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [D#] He was a Kodiak [C] looking fella about [E] 19 feet tall.
He rambled up over the hill expecting me to do one or two [A] things.
Flip replied, I didn't do either one.
It hung him up. _
_ [E] _ He starts sniffing around my body trying [G] to smell fear, but he [A] ain't gonna smell no fear.
Cause I'm God's own drunk and a fearless man.
It hung him up.
[E] _ _ _ He looked me right in my eyes and my eyes [A] was a lot redder than his was.
It hung him up. _ _
_ [E] _ _ So I approached him and I said, _
_ [A] Mr.
Bear, _ _ _ _ I love [Em] every hair on your 27 [E] acre body. _
_ [A] _ I know you got a lot of friends over there on the other side of the [E] hill.
[B] There's old rare bear, tall bear, [E] pretty bear, killage [A] bear, really bear, smelly bear, smoky bear, pokey bear.
I want you [E] to go back over there tonight and tell them how I'm feeling right. _
You tell [Am] them I love each and every one of them like a brother and a sister.
[A] _
_ [E] But if they give me any trouble tonight, _ _ [Am] I'm gonna run every God damn one of them off the [E] hill.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] He took two steps backwards and didn't know what to think.
_ [E] Neither did I with being charitable and cautious.
Well, hell, I [A] approached him again.
_ I said, _ [E] Mr.
Bear, _ _ you know, in the eyes of the Lord, we're [A] both beasts when it comes right down to it.
_ [C] _
_ [E] _ I want you to be my buddy, _
_ [A] _ Buddy Bear. _ _ _
So I took [E] old Buddy Bear by his island-sized paw and I led him over to the still.
_ [A] He's sniffing around that thing because he's smelling something good.
_ I [Em] gave him one of them jugs [E] of honey dew by and mortar.
He downed it upright and looked like a little damn [A] bear from the circus sitting sasperally in the moonlight. _
_ [Em] I gave him another and another and another.
Boy, he downed eight of them and commenced to do [A] the bear dance.
_ Two sniffs of snore to fly and turn into [E] grunt.
It was so simple like the jitterbug it plummeted me. _
_ [A] _ _ And we worked ourselves into a tumultuous uproar.
I got up the next morning, [E] I was awful tired.
Went over to the hillside, not laid [A] down.
Went to sleep. _
_ [E] Slept for four hours and dreamt me some tremulous dreams.
_ [A] _ _ And when I woke up, _ [E] oh, there was God's yellow [C#] moon shining on the [G] cooler evening.
[A] _ _ _ [Am] God's little lanterns was a-twinkling on and [E] off in the heavens.
_ My buddy the bear [A] was a-missing. _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ Yeah.
_ You want to know something [C] else, friends and [B] neighbors?
_ [Cm] _ [B] So was [E] that still.
_ [A] _ _ [Em] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] That's a take.
[E] _ _ [Am] _ _ [A] Wait, could, [D] uh, [F] _ you missed it? _ _ _ _
