Verse 1
This (D major) is called this one,
Talkin' Bear Mountain Picnic,
Massacre Blues. (F sharp major) (C major)
(D major) ["Talkin' (G major) (C major) Blues"] (D major)
["Talk (F sharp major) in' I saw it advertised (D major) one day,
(F sharp major) the Bear Moun (D major) tain Picnic
was coming my way.
(F sharp major) Come along and take a (D major) trip,
transport you up there on a (F sharp major) ship.
Bring the wife and kids,
(D major) bring the whole family. Yippee. (G major) (C major) (D major)
(G major) Well, (D major) I run right down
and bought me a ticket
to the Bear Mountain picnic.
(F sharp major) Little did I (D major) realize
I was in for a funny kind
of picnic surprise. (G major)
Had nothing to do (C major) with picnics.
(D major) Didn't come close to a mountain.
I'm scared of bears. (G major)
(D major) (C major) (D major) (G major) (C major) (D major) (G major)
Took the wife and kids (D major) down to (C major) the pier.
(D major) Six thousand people there.
Everybody (G major) had a ticket for the (C major) trip.
(D major) Well, I said, it's a pretty big ship. (G major)
Besides,
(D major) I'm more of the merrier. (G major) (C major) (D major) (G major)
Well (D major) we all got on, what do (C major) you think,
(D major) that big ol' boat started to sink
More people kept a (C major) -piling on,
(D major) that ol' ship started to go down (G major) (C major)
Maybe this ain't no way to (D major) start a picnic
Well I soon lost (G major) track of my kids
and (C major) wife
so many people (D major) I never saw in my life
but old ship (G major) was going
down in the (C major) wa ter
(D major) 6 ,000 people trying to kill each other
dogs are barking,
(G major) cats are screaming,
(C major) women are yelling,
(D major) men are coming,
fists are flying, cats are running,
dishes overthrown,
me are running,
cops are coming,
maybe we just better call off the
picnic (G major) (C major) (D major) (G major) (C major) (D major)
(G major)
I got knocked down, got shoved (C major) around,
(D major) all I could hear was a moanin' sound,
don't remember one (G major) thing more,
(D major) got knocked out,
woke up on the shore, (G major)
arms were (C major) busted,
feet were busted,
Head was (D major) cracked,
stomach was split open
Couldn't walk, talk, see,
think, feel, crawl, couldn't move
I was bald, naked,
quite lucky to be alive though (G major)
(C major) (D major) (G major) (C major) (D major) (G major)
(C major) (D major) (G major)
I'm feelin' like I climbed out of my casket
I (D major) grabbed back hold of my picnic basket
Took the wife (G major) an d kids
and started (C major) whole (D major) Wishin'
I never got up that mornin'
(G major) Now I don't care just what you (D major) do,
if you want to have a picnic,
that's up to you.
Don't tell me you (G major) don't want to (C major) hear it,
(D major) you see I lost all my picnic spirit, (G major)
I in (C major) my kitchen,
I have my (D major) own picnics in
the bathroom. (G major) (C major) (D major) (G major) (C major) (D major)
(G major)
It don't (D major) seem to me quite so funny,
but some people are going to do it
for money.
There's a brand new gimmick (C major) every day,
just (D major) take somebody's money away.
(G major) Maybe (D major) we ought to take
some of these people
and put them on a boat,
send them up to Bear Mountain for
a picnic. (G major) (C major) (D major) (G major) (C major) (D major)
(G major)
I'll sing you a song I wrote
and maybe give you some time
to go out and have a cigarette.
you
