Black Bear

[Verse 1]
Em                  C
  In a fight with a black bear
Em                  C                Em
  Two fists and I'm grinding my teeth
                   C
I was never really that scared
     Em
I'll let him kill me
                      C
Not really sure how I got there
Em                          C      Em
  I think somebody paid the referee
                     C
Then again, it never was fair
     Em
This bear should fear me

[Chorus]
C          G             D
 I'm going into this year
                       C
With a knife behind my back
             G             D
It's getting harder to hear
I'll read your lips as you laugh
Em
  Black bear,
G                   C             G           D/F#
standing with gloves Wish I could show you I'm
tough
Em                   G           C
  Black bear, you're eating me up
So tough, let me show you my guts

[Post-Chorus]
Em G C
      So tough,
       G          D/F#
let me show you my    guts
Em G C
      So tough, let me show you my

[Verse 2]
Em                   C
  Won a fight with a black bear
Em                   C
  Put his claws in a trophy case
Em                      C
  Hopе I'm never going back therе
     Em
I'll make them pay
                       C
I've got the body of a black bear
Em                      C                 Em
  Will anybody come and share this weight?
                  C
Two fists and I'm back there
   Em
To dig his grave

[Chorus]
C          G             D
 I'm going into this year
                       C
With a knife behind my back
             G             D
It's getting harder to hear
I'll read your lips as you laugh
Em
  Black bear,
G                   C             G           D/F#
standing with gloves Wish I could show you I'm
tough
Em                   G           C
  Black bear, you're eating me up
So tough, let me show you my guts
