A F#
We arrived really late at night
E D
And we found a place to sleep under a small patch of trees
A F#
We didn't set up our tent that night
E D
We just put sleeping bags right down in the weeds
A F#
The ground was covered in thorns
E D
But the ground was dry and the ground was warm
A F#
And we could see the stars at night
E D E
So we knew we'd be alri-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ight
A F#
I heard some footsteps approaching the fence
E D
So I picked my head up to get a look at it
A F#
It was the most monstrous cow I'd ever seen
E D
With eyes like a devil burnin' straight into me
A F#
And I knew that if it could
E D
It would hop over that fence and crush us with its hoofs
A F#
And I knew that we were in deep
E D E
Eighty days left, I'm glad that you are here with me-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e
A F#
We woke up the next morning to discover
E D
Our true enemy was beneath us the whole time
A F#
There were slugs all over our sleeping bags
E D
And everywhere they went they left a trail of slime
A F#
And we packed up our things, we walked into town
E D
Into a town I'd never heard of before
A F#
We ate fries in a Medieval market,
E
Of thousands of sauces
D A
I chose ketchup of course
D A D A D A D A
Of course, of course, of course, of cour-
A E D
Hung around for a few days then headed out
A E
On our way we got dropped off without wanting to be
D A
In the city where most of the world's diamonds are made
E
But the city of treasures and sparkly things
D A
Didn't hold many splendors for you and me,
E D A
Just mean old ladies in the McDonalds bathroom that wanted us to pay to pee
