Verse 1:
B minorBm           GbmGbm     B minorBm
Meet me on the log jam on Kerosene Creek
B minorBm                 DbDb
Where the forest lies waiting in a heap
B minorBm               GbmGbm   B minorBm
The logs rub together and it burns for weeks
B minorBm          GbmGbm         B minorBm
And the black clouds choke you while you sleep
D MajorD          GbmGbm             B minorBm
On the God-forsaken plains in the middle of the west
           DbDb
There's a town called Yodel-ay-hee Hole
B minorBm              GbmGbm   B minorBm
You get there by hopping from crest to crest
       GbmGbm      B minorBm
Of the amber waves as they roll

Chorus:
B minorBm           GbmGbm   B minorBm
How can a man ride the back of a horse
                   DbDb
When he can't suck the breath from a cat?
B minorBm       GbmGbm    B minorBm     D MajorD
The answer is found as a matter of course
B minorBm         GbmGbm          B minorBm
Once you drop your drawers and hop in the vat


Verse 2:
B minorBm           GbmGbm     B minorBm
A augmentedA gladiator raider went hunting in the swamp
B minorBm           DbDb
Brandishing a lariat and maul
B minorBm               GbmGbm    B minorBm
He bumped into a gator and the gator went "chomp"
B minorBm          GbmGbm         B minorBm
And swallowed him, chariot and all
D MajorD          GbmGbm             B minorBm
In a tavern by a canyon down in Guillotine Gulch
           DbDb
A augmentedA miner 49er drinks a shot
B minorBm              GbmGbm   B minorBm
The night before he shoveled up a talking skull
       GbmGbm      B minorBm
That brainless bone said "I don't think, therefore I'm not"

Verse 3:
B minorBm           GbmGbm     B minorBm
If your dander is up and you're feeling quite bold
B minorBm                 DbDb
Then do a chorus line kick in the sleet
B minorBm                GbmGbm    B minorBm
But if dancing on ice seems too frightfully cold
B minorBm          GbmGbm         B minorBm
Then wear a nice pair of wigs on your feet
D MajorD          GbmGbm             B minorBm
I'm like an ox in your china shop shack
           DbDb
Knocking plates on the floor when I curtsy
B minorBm              GbmGbm   B minorBm
My tutu is tight and it rides up my back
       GbmGbm      B minorBm
And it tangles my teacups and hurts me

Chorus:
B minorBm           GbmGbm   B minorBm
How can a man ride the back of a horse
                   DbDb
When he can't suck the breath from a cat?
B minorBm       GbmGbm    B minorBm     D MajorD
The answer is found as a matter of course
B minorBm         GbmGbm          B minorBm
Once you drop your drawers and hop in the vat

B minorBm       GbmGbm    B minorBm     D MajorD
Yes, the answer is found as a matter of course
