       A              Dbm
I love diggin' in the dirt

With just a pick and brush

Finding fossils is my aim

'Cause the treasures that I seek

Are rare and ancient things

Like Velociraptor's jaw

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

          E7
Who wanna see 'em

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

That I love to try and solve

It's so fun to think about

      E7
How a species has evolved
