Verse 1: [12-string plays intro riff
 throughout]

        A        E    D         
        I don't care what they 
A     (A) E  D  A
say
        A          E       D  A 
        I'm gonna keep it anyway
    (A) E  D  A

        A        E          D    
        I won't let them stretch 
        A     (A) E  D  A
their necks
Continues after the ad
        A                       E 
        To see my little black egg
            D            A     (A)
 with the little white specks
 E  D  A


Chorus:

        F#m              E          
 [slide up to F#m throughout]
        I found it in a tree
        F#m             E
        Just the other day
        F#m           E
        And now it's mine, all mine
        F#                   E      
 [yes, F# major here]
        They won't take it away

        [my Kapp single goes 
directly to next verse; the version 
on the
         Rhino "Nuggets" comp 
repeats intro riff twice]

Verse 2:

        Here comes Mary, here comes 
Lee
        I'll bet what they want to 
see
        I won't let them stretch 
their necks
        To see my little black egg 
with the little white specks

[repeat chorus]

Verse 3:

        Oh, goldurn, what can I do?
        The little black egg's gonna
 tell on you
        I won't let them stretch 
their necks
        To see my little black egg 
with the little white specks

Coda:

             A            E    D  
        The little black egg...     
 A
 [repeat to fade]
