The Preacher And The Bear

         G                  
Well the preacher went out a 
                 C             G
huntin', it was on one Sunday morn'
Although against his religion, he 
A             D7
took his gun along
   G                            
He shot himself some mighty fine 
           C               G
quail and one old measley hare
    C             G      E7      
But on his way returning home, he
        A      D7        G
 met a great big grizzly bear

[Verse 2]
         G                     
Well the bear dashed out to the 
 G7                      C        
middle of the road right up to the
               G
 preacher and seen
    G                              
The preacher got so excited that he
 A                   D
 climbed up a big ol tree
    G                  G7         
The bear stayed down upon the 
            C                      
ground and the preacher climbed out
   G
 on a limb
   C                    G         
He cast his eyes to the Lord in 
   E7        A              D    
the skies and these words he said
     G
 to him

[Chorus]
     G                         
"Oh Lord, you delivered Daniel, 
                    D      G
saved him from the lion's den
    G                              
You also delivered Jonah, from the 
A                      D
belly of the whale and then

          G                      
Cast the Hebrew children from the 
  G7
fiery furnace
    C               G
The good books do declare
C                G          E7
Now Lordy, if you don't help me,
A          D         G
Just don't help that bear"

[Verse 3]
         G                     G7 
Well, the preacher stayed up in 
               C               
that tree oh I think it was all 
 G
night
   G                               
He said "Oh Lord if you don't help 
                 A                 
me, you're gonna see one hell of a 
 D
fight"
G                    G7          
About that time, the limb let go,
         C                        
 and the preacher come-a tumblin' 
G
down
    C                           
You should have seen him get his 
 G     E7    A       D         G
razor out before he hit the ground

[Verse 4]
       G                         
He hit the ground shakin right to 
              C                 
left and he put up a pretty good 
   G
fight
          G                        
Then the bear hugged the preacher, 
         A                      
and he squeezed him a little too 
  D
tight
G                    G7          
Preacher dropped his razor, man 
       C                   G
but the bear held on with a grin
   C                    G         
He cast his eyes to the Lord in 
   E7        A              D    
the skies and these words he said
   G
 to him

[Chorus]
      G                        
"Oh Lord, you delivered Daniel, 
                    D      G
saved him from the lion's den
    G                              
You also delivered Jonah, from the 
A                      D
belly of the whale and then
          G                       
Cast the Hebrew children from the 
G7
fiery furnace
    C               G
The good books do declare
C                 G          E7
Now Lordy, if you don't help me,
A          D         G
Just don't help that bear
C                 G          E7
Now Lordy, if you don't help me
A              D         G
Just don't you help that bear"
