Grateful Dead - Alligator

^CSleepy Alligator in the^F noon day ^Amsun, ^CLyin' by the river just like he ^Fusually ^Amdone. ^CCall for his whiskey, he can^F call for his ^Amtea, ^CCall all he want to, but he ^Fcan't call ^Amme.

^GOh no! I've been there before, ^AAnd I ain't gonna come around here no more.

^F(Hung up, waitin' for ^Cwindy day) ^F(Hung up, waitin' for ^Cwindy day)

^FCreepy alligator coming ^Call around the bend, ^FShoutin' about the times when we was ^Cmutual friends, ^FI checked my memory and I^C checked it quick, yes I will. ^FI checked it runnin' some old ^Ckind of trick.

^DmOh no! Well I've^A been there before, ^G7And I ain't gonna come around^A here any more.

^ASailin' down the river in an ^Eold canoe, ^AA bunch of bugs and an ^Eold tennis shoe. ^AOut of the river all ^Eugly and green, ^ACame the biggest old alligator ^Ethat I've ever seen! ^ATeeth big and pointy and his ^Eeyes were buggin' out, ^AContracted the union, put the ^Ebeggars to rout. ^AScreamin' and yellin', he was ^Epickin' his chops, ^AHe never runs he just ^Estumbles and hops. ^AJust out of prison on ^Eten dollars bail, ^AMumblin' bitches and ^Ewaggin' his tail.
