       A              Dbm
I love diggin' in the dirt

      F#m
With just a pick and brush

        Bm
Finding fossils is my aim

       E7
So I'm never in a rush

           A                Dbm
'Cause the treasures that I seek

    F#m
Are rare and ancient things

     Bm
Like Velociraptor's jaw

        E7
Or Archaeopteryx's wings
CHORUS
            D
Now all the kids

          E7
Who wanna see 'em

           D
Are lining up

          E7
At our museum

       A     E7  Bm   D
I am a paleontologist

             A                E7              Bm  D
That's who I am, that's who I am, that's who I am

VERSE 2
         A        Dbm
Could it be an herbivore

         F#m
Crushing plants with rounded teeth

       Bm
Or ferocious carnivore

         E7
Who moves so quickly on its feet

          A          Dbm
It's like pieces of a puzzle

       F#m
That I love to try and solve

        Bm
It's so fun to think about

      E7
How a species has evolved
CHORUS
            D
Now all the kids

          E7
Who wanna see 'em

           D
Are lining up

At our museum

       A     E7  Bm   D
I am a paleontologist

             A                E7              Bm  D
