Chords for The Preacher and the Bear - Arthur Collins

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ [Am] A preacher went out a hunting, [G] was on one Sunday morn.
[F#m] Our cause was against his [E] religion, but he took his gun [A] along.
He shot himself some [Em] very fine quail, and one big measly hare.
And on his way [E] returning home, [B] he met a great big grizzly bear.
The bear [G#] marched out in the middle of the road, and he walked [F#] to the coon.
The coon got so excited, he climbed up a cinnamon tree.
[E] The bear sat down upon the ground, and the coon climbed [Em] out on a limb.
Then he cast his [E] eyes to the Lord in [F#m] disguise, and these words said to him.
[F#] Oh, [B]
London, I am [D] dead.
Oh, so deliver [E] Jonah from the valley of the wailing [A] den.
Three Hebrew children from the fiery point of [Em] the good book do [D] declare.
[E] Now, Lord, if you can't help me, for goodness sake, don't you help that bear.
[Em] Now, Mr.
Bear, let you and I reason this here thing out together, eh?
Grrr.
Nice bear.
Grrr.
[G#] Good old bear.
[E] Grrr.
Say, Mr.
Bear, if I should give you just one nice, good, juicy bite, would you go away? [B] Grrr.
[Em] No?
Grrr.
But I'll stay right here.
[F#] Oh, my.
Oh, my.
Oh.
