|G+G D MajorD |A augmentedA |G+G D MajorD |A augmentedA
|G+G D MajorD |A augmentedA A/GA/G A augmentedA
Did you ever sleep in a bear pit
|G+G D MajorD |A augmentedA
With apple cores and mice along
|G+G D MajorD |A augmentedA A/GA/G A augmentedA
Did you ever lay on ice and grit
|G+G D MajorD |A augmentedA | A/GA/G A augmentedA |
Or search for a place where the wind was gone
Did you ever tramp up endless hills
Past cosy homes with secret beds
Did you ever dream of a suicide pill
And wake up cold to the smell of bread
|G+G |D/F#D/F#
Well, I have slept there badly twice
|E minor 7Em7 |D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
I've shared my straw with scratching mice and
|G+G |D/F#D/F#
Although you'll find some deep brown hair
|E minor 7Em7 |
I'll tell you something for nothing
Em9Em9 E minor 7Em7|A/C#A/C# |D MajorD |G+G |Gmaj7Gmaj7
There ain't no bears in there (cache cache)
G6G6 |A/C#A/C# |B minorBm |Cadd9Cadd9 |Cadd9/5- |Cadd9Cadd9 | |
Not a single bear in there (cache cache)
Did you ever have to make a draw
For a hard wooden bench or a bed of stone
Did you ever jimmy a stable door and scare the horse to escape the snow
Did you ever invade a neat little yard
And wake up the kids who hope for ghosts
Did you ever cause their dogs to bark
At guests to curse their noisy hosts
Don't jump in expecting fun
Don't swagger in there with your elephant gun
Don't enter the cage with wavin' chairs
'Cause I'll tell you something for nothing
There ain't no bears in there (cache cache)
Not a single bear in there (cache cache)

Did you ever pass the police at work

And hope that they might take you in

Did you ever wonder why music hurts
A augmentedA |A augmentedA A/GA/G A augmentedA |A augmentedA D/AD/A D/A D/AD/A
When someone plays it aloof to sin
|G+G |F6/9
Did you ever believe that a smile could cure

A augmentedA happy face keep you warm at night?
|G+G |Fadd9Fadd9
Were you ever fooled by laughter's lure
|G+G Gsus4Gsus4 |G+G |A augmentedA Asus4Asus4 |A augmentedA |
Only to find that they laughed in spite?
Don't jump in expecting fun
Don't swagger in there with your elephant gun
Don't enter the cage with wavin' chairs
'Cause I'll tell you something for nothing
There ain't no bears in there (cache cache)
Not a single bear in there (cache cache)
{interlude; verse pattern}
Did you ever finally find a place
A augmentedA soft warm bed in a room with flowers
And when you finally laid down your face

You found you slept for a hundred hours
