Alligator chords by Grateful Dead

Chords with lyrics

C majorC           FF     A minorAm
Sleepy Alligator in the noon day sun
C majorC                FF    A minorAm
Lyin' by the river just like he usually done
C majorC              FF       A minorAm
Call for his whiskey he can call for his tea
C majorC              FF     A minorAm
Call all he want to but he can't call me

G+G
Oh no I've been there before
A augmentedA
And I ain't gonna come around here no more

C majorC   DmDm   FF   C majorC  C7C7

FF           C majorC
Hung up waitin' for windy day
FF           C majorC
Hung up waitin' for windy day

FF            C majorC
Creepy alligator coming all around the bend
FF                  C majorC
Shoutin' about the times when we was mutual friends
FF            C majorC
I checked my memory and I checked it quick yes I will
FF               C majorC
I checked it runnin' some old kind of trick
DmDm       A augmentedA
Oh no Well I've been there before
G7G7              A augmentedA
And I ain't gonna come around here any more

A augmentedA              E MajorE
Sailin' down the river in an old canoe
A augmentedA           E MajorE
A augmentedA bunch of bugs and an old tennis shoe
A augmentedA          E MajorE
Out of the river all ugly and green
A augmentedA               E MajorE
Came the biggest old alligator that I've ever seen
A augmentedA              E MajorE
Teeth big and pointy and his eyes were buggin' out
A augmentedA               E MajorE
Contracted the union put the beggars to rout
A augmentedA               E MajorE
Screamin' and yellin' he was pickin' his chops
A augmentedA           E MajorE
He never runs he just stumbles and hops
A augmentedA           E MajorE
Just out of prison on ten dollars bail
A augmentedA          E MajorE
Mumblin' bitches and waggin' his tail

E MajorE   D MajorD  E minorEm  E MajorE
