Remove Ads
INTRO: 3 progressions of D Bm G D
 
 
She was once an attraction at the county fair
and now she sleeps in a box at the top of the stairs
and she loves it here make no mistake
cause she can earn her keep by chasin snakes
 
 
And if I wake up late at night i know that everything will
be alright, cause crawling round on my room is the woman
who was also a mongoose
 
A
 
(D Bm G D)x4She was born in May ninety years ago
In a little town outside Buffalo
but the town folk feared her and they chased her away
and now she's happy with a place to stay
 
 
And if I wake up late at night i know that everything will
be alright, cause crawling round on my room is the woman
who was also a mongoose
 
(D Bm G D)x4She trapped a rattler out behind the barn
and she let it Go without any harm
then she came inside for a cup of tea
and she spoke for a while with my brother and me
 
 
chasing after feild mice running through the high grass
thats what she loves to do
and if she's happy as a mongoose, shouldn't bother me or you
 
 
And if I wake up late at night i know that everything will
be alright, cause crawling round on my room is the woman
who was also a mongoose
 
(D Bm G D) x2 A D
