[!] Capo on 1st fret [!]
[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
E
Well, I knew what I wanted to do in life
E
When I was old enough to use me a skinning knife
A
I left my home in Saskatchewan
E
Northwest Territory, here I come
B7
Daddy said, "Son, you better understand
E N.C. E
It's a mighty rough life when you're a trapper man"
[Verse 2]
E
Well, he offered me a job in Ontario
E
Where the chinchilla mate and the silver fox grow
A
But a farm ain't the place my daddy had said
E
It just ain't right when you catch 'em in bed
B7
Get my furs from the water and the land
E N.C. E
With the help of the Lord, I'll be a trapper man
F
[Verse 3]
F
After 13 years, I can tell you this
F
If you wanna be a trapper and you get that itch
A#
Remember it's cold in the long, long night
F
I lost two good fingers and my feet ain't right
C7
There's a real good price for a first-class pelt
F N.C. F
But you gotta be careful not to trap yourself
F#
[Verse 4]
F#
Now, when I die, don't you bury me
F#
Just nail my hide to a big oak tree
B
Let the wind and the sun just tan it brown
F#
When the good Lord's ready, he can take it down
C#7
If you see anybody in Saskatchewan
F# N.C. F#
Just tell 'em that the trapper man wrote this song
[Outro]
F#
Yeah, the trapper man wrote this song
F#
Ah, the trapper man wrote this song

[Chorus]
B7
Hello up there, little black bug
E
Ain't you got a family?

You must be crazy, you're taking chances
B7
Moving in with a guy like me

If a love can make them fall

But there ain't no woman crazy
B7 E
As the black bug on the wall
[Verse 2]
E
I came home high just last Friday

Now, that's just like me when I'm drinking

Kill the only friend I got

E7 A
And that's more than I deserve
E B7
Little black bug, you've sure got
E
A lotta nerve
[Verse 3]
E
Sometimes, I just lie here
B7
And I smoke a cigarette
B7
Blow some smoke up on the ceiling

You sure get a charge from that
E
If I only knew your birthday
E7 A
We'd just have a little spree
E B7
Little black bug, you could have
E
A drink with me
[Chorus]
B7
Hello up there, little black bug
E
Ain't you got a family?

If a love can make them fall

But there ain't no woman crazy
B7 E
As the black bug on the wall

9.) "Flop Top Beer" (1967)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A E
They got a little thing they call a flop top can
A
And that's the kind of science I can understand
D
'cause when you want a frosty, you just rip it right off
A
There's no time wasted, no time lost
E D
Tell that pretty waitress, come a-running over here
A N.C.
And bring me another... flop top beer
[Chorus]
D A
It's nice... on ice
E A
Flop... top beer (*hic* beer)
[Verse 2]
A E
I guess this thing has got about a hundred different names
A
I don't care what they call it 'cause to me, it's all the same
D
I like the way it sounds when you rip it right back
A
You know a-hunting for a key could give a guy a heart attack
E D
So when you have a party, you let out a little cheer
A N.C.
For that wonderful... flop top beer
[Chorus]
D A
It's nice... on ice
E A
Flop... top beer (*hic* beer)
[Verse 3]
A E
I was doing about a hundred down the interstate pike
A
In my rear-view mirror, saw a little red light
D
It was a-winking and a-blinking like a red light can
A
And I could tell mighty well that it had to be the man
E D
He jerked me from the car and he said, "Looky here!
A N.C.
A six-pack of... flop top beer"
[Chorus]
D A
It's nice... on ice
E A
Flop... top beer (*hic* beer)
[Verse 4]
A E
The man told the judge I was a "Signal 9"
A
And they said, "We gotta hold you 'til we figure up your fine"
D
I pleaded halitosis when they smelled it on my breath
A
The judge looked down at me and said, "You take a little rest"
E D
They led me to my cell and they thought I didn't hear
A N.C.
Them dividing up my... flop top beer
[Chorus]
D A
Flopped up... too much
E A
Flop... top beer
D A
It's nice... on ice
E A
Flop... top beer (*hic* beer)

[Intro]
D E7 A
Ooh, country wedding bells
[Verse 1]
A
Beyond the noisy city
E7
In the quiet countryside
E7
There's a chapel filled with people
A
At the altar stands a bride
A
In the still of Sunday morning
D
Breaking the magic spell
D
In the distance, I hear
E7 A
Country wedding bells
[Chorus]
D E7 A
Country boy, all alone, in the city
B7
I've stayed away too long
E7
I'm losing her today
A
As the bells ring out the gladness
D
My country castle fell
D
To the singing, ringing
E7 A
Country wedding bells
[Interlude]
D E7 A
[Verse 2]
A
I forgot and still she waited
E7
And our love hung by a thread
E7
While the painted tainted flowers
A
Of the sidewalk turned my head
A
She'll shed a tear of gladness
D
As old friends wish her well
D
I'll cry a country tear
E7 A
For country wedding bells
[Chorus]
D E7 A
Country boy, all alone, in the city
B7
I've stayed away too long
E7
I'm losing her today
A
As the bells ring out the gladness
D
My country castle fell
D
To the singing, ringing
E7 A
Country wedding bells
D
To the singing, ringing
E7 A
Country wedding bells

[Intro]
E7 A
[Chorus]
D A
I pledge allegiance to the blues each night at midnight
B7 E7
And to these united heartaches that they call
D A
One woman, so indifferent that she gave me
E7 A
The liberty I didn't want at all
[Verse 1]
A E7
We the people, faced with heartache
A
Have the right to vote on how we live
E7
And so I pledge allegiance to the blues, now
A
And sacrifice the love I had to give
[Interlude]
E7 A
[Verse 2]

Never have so many known so little
A
About the way the blues can crush a man
E7
I shall not return and find a new love
A
I'll just fade away and try to understand
[Chorus]
D A
I pledge allegiance to the blues each night at midnight
B7 E7
And to these united heartaches that they call
