[Verse 2]
Am6 D9 One morning when Lou Am6 D9 Wasn’t feelin’ too well Am6 D9 He left to take a crawl Am6 D9 By the village hotel Am6 D9 Someone whispered psst Am6 D9 You, yeah you Am6 D9 Come here buddy Am6 D9 Come see my trophy my loot Am6 D9 And Lou slowly made his way to see Am6 D9 Appear before his eyes… Am6 D9 A wingless moth Am6 D9 In the shadows where light Am6 D9 Never saw the day, and he said Am6 D9 Here give it a try Am6 D9 And Lou was away for once he didn’t Am6 D9 Feel his shell on his back Am6 D9 He drooled all over himself Am6 D9 And slimed back home Am6 D9 Slidin’ on every inch of sand Am6 D9 He turned into stone Am6 D9 And his mama said, Louuuuuhouuu Am6 D9 Oh baby, my baby Am6 D9 What have you done love your papa Am6 D9 Gonna be here any minute, you crazy? Am6 D9 Now get in your shell and hide up please Am6 D9 Mama gone cry Am6 D9 Slugs ain’t got it easy Am6 D9 There’s nothing on their back
[Mid Chorus]
E7 And he rattled and screamed, bellowed and beat D13 Dribbled; he crawled to his mama and screeched Am6 D9 Am6 D9 Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh
Am6 D9 Am6 D9
[Bridge]
E7 That day something strange D13 Happened to Lou E7 No, never he’d feel the same D13 From now on he knew E7 His shell did not keep him safe D13 And now he lived with so much angst E7 He couldn’t stand it anymore D13 Only one thing he could do
[Verse 3]
Am6 D9 He packed up his bundle Am6 D9 No more looking back no more redondo Am6 D9 Not a single glance Am6 D9 At the shell he once lived undo Am6 D9 He thought what a shame Am6 D9 That I didn’t leave sooner Am6 D9 Never too late to make it Am6 D9 Out of the sewer Am6 D9 His crying mama said Am6 D9 You can’t leave me to die Am6 D9 As soon as you will step out Am6 D9 I will cry myself dry Am6 D9 He looked at her and said Am6 D9 Sorry mama
N.C.
I don’t wish on anyone to live a life of hiding in drama
[Final Chorus]

D13 Leaving his house and said Am6 D9 Am6 D9 Woooouhoouuuu
