Grateful Dead – Alligator (Ukulele)

C                      F         Am
Sleepy Alligator in the noon day sun

C                               F       Am
Lyin' by the river just like he usually done

C                           F             Am
Call for his whiskey he can call for his tea

C                           F          Am
Call all he want to but he can't call me

G
Oh no I've been there before

A
And I ain't gonna come around here no more

F                     C
Hung up waitin' for windy day

F                     C
Hung up waitin' for windy day

F                       C
Creepy alligator coming all around the bend

F                                    C
Shoutin' about the times when we was mutual friends

F                        C
I checked my memory and I checked it quick yes I will

F                             C
I checked it runnin' some old kind of trick

Dm              A
Oh no Well I've been there before

G7                           A
And I ain't gonna come around here any more

A                            E
Sailin' down the river in an old canoe

A                      E
A bunch of bugs and an old tennis shoe

A                    E
Out of the river all ugly and green

A                              E
Came the biggest old alligator that I've ever seen

A                            E
Teeth big and pointy and his eyes were buggin' out

A                             E
Contracted the union put the beggars to rout

A                             E
Screamin' and yellin' he was pickin' his chops

A                     E
He never runs he just stumbles and hops

A                     E
Just out of prison on ten dollars bail

A                    E
Mumblin' bitches and waggin' his tail
