G                     D
Happy hunting ground, happy hunting ground 
           G      D     
They don't talk or act like you do
      G                     C     
Happy hunting ground, happy hunting ground 
        C          D         G 
No they sure don't look like you 

[Instrumental]
G D x4

[Verse 2]
G                          C
Who, what, when, where and why everyday 
                  D
Identify every disease 
  C                  G            C                     D
I drew a blank in my language and latin and spanish and greek 
G                          C
Thrown out, thrown out, so happy at first 
                            D
I danced 'til I wore out my shoes 
    C                 G        C                       D
Now I'm in trouble, I know it, please let me back into school 

[Chorus]
G                 D
Back in the happy hunting ground 
      C              D 
Where all around are fair, fair game 
G                D
I need the happy hunting ground 
       C                       G 
'Cause all around it's not the same 

[Verse 3]
G                  C
How to say it, and not to offend 
                               D
Well, you're still inside it's OK 
   C                         G       C                         D     
As soon as a girl leaves the refuge, out go the reason they're great
G                       C 
Hips are spreading, and never a smile 
                             D
They always demand that they drive 
      C                    G            C                            D
Well, I've got to get back inside there back where at least they're alive 

[Chorus]
G                 D
Back in the happy hunting ground 
      C              D 
Where all around are fair, fair game 
G                D
I need the happy hunting ground 
       C                       G 
'Cause all around it's not the same 

[Verse 4]
      G                     D
Happy hunting ground, happy hunting ground 
         G                      D
They can sort of dance like you do 
      G                     C
Happy hunting ground, happy hunting ground 
         C          D         G
But they just can't last like you 

[Verse 5] 
G                   C
Some are coming to learn how to read 
                       D
Others to learn how to write 
    C                    G          C                   D
But I want a better selection it's larger but poorer outside 

[Bridge]
G               D 
It's fair, fair game inside 
C               D
It's fair, fair game inside etc.

[Chorus]
G                 D
Back in the happy hunting ground 
      C              D 
Where all around are fair, fair game 
G                D
I need the happy hunting ground 
       C                       G 
'Cause all around it's not the same 

[Bridge]
G               D 
It's fair, fair game inside 
C               D
It's fair, fair game inside etc.
