Verse 1:

   (D)      G        C                D
        Oh, the snot has caked against my pants
        G              C    D
        It has turned into crystal
                   G        C             D
        There's a bluebird sitting on a branch
        G             C       D
        I guess I'll take my pistol
        G           C      D
        I've got it in my hand
        G            C      D
        Because he's on my land

Chorus:

   A          BbaddE A             A: x77650   BbaddE: x88760
        And so the story ended
        A             BbaddE  A
        Do you know it oh so well
        A              BbaddE      A 
        Well should you need I'll tell you
             F              C/G
        The end-end-end-end-end-end-end-end
        D
        And...

Verse 2:

   Yes I've seen you sitting on the couch
        I recognize your artillery
        I have seen you many times before
        Once when I was an Indian
        And I was on my land
        Why can't you understand

[repeat chorus]
