I said it's on the guitar dude.

Something's good down here.
[E] [G]
Well the preacher went out [C] hunting it was on one [G] Sunday morning.
And although against his [A] religion he took his gun [D] along.
[G]
He shot himself some mighty fine quail.
[C] One old [G] measly hare.
But [G] on his way [E] returning home he met a great [D] big [G] grizzly bear.
Well the bear dashed off to the mirror of the rose [C] and went up to the [G] preacher's seat.
The preacher got so excited [A] that he climbed up [D] a big old tree.
[G]
The bear stayed down upon the ground [C] and the preacher climbed out [G] on a limb.
[C] He cast his eyes to the lord in the skies and these [E] words said to him.
[G] Oh Lord, you delivered Daniel's family from a lion's den.
You also delivered Jonah [A] from the belly of a [D] whaling man.
[G] Yes, he drew children from the fire and burned [C] as the good bloods do it there.
Oh Lord, [Em] if you don't help [A] me just don't help [E] that bear.

Said oh Lord, if you don't [A] help me you're gonna see [D] one hell of a fight.
[G] About that time the limb let [C] go and the preacher come tumbling [G] down.
He [C] should have [Em] seen his razor out before [D] he hit the ground.
[G] He hit the ground and shook him right to it and he stood up pretty good fine.
[E] [G] And the bear hugged the preacher [A] and he squeezed him a little too [G] tight.
The preacher dropped his razor at the man [C] but the bear held on [G] with a grin.
