Primeiro acorde: Am 7 acordes identificados
[Verso 1]
Am Dm
Come fill up your glasses and set yourselves down.
I'll tell you a story of somebody's town.
It isn't too near and it's not far away.
C Am
It's not a place where I'd like to stay.
[Refrão]
The people are scratching all over the street
Because the rabbits had nothing to eat.
[Verso 2]
Am Dm
The winter came in with a cold icy blast.
It killed off the flowers and killed off the grass.
The rabbits were starving because of the freeze.
They started eating the bark off the trees.
[Refrão]
The people are scratching all over the street
Because the rabbits had nothing to eat.
[Verso 3]
Am Dm
The farmers said, "This sort of thing won't do.
Our trees will be dead when the rabbits get through.
We'll have to poison the rabbits, it's clear;
C Am
Or we'll have no crops to harvest next year."
[Refrão]
The people are scratching all over the street
Because the rabbits had nothing to eat.
[Verso 4]
Am Dm
So they brought the poison and spread it around.
And soon dead rabbits began to be found.
Dogs ate the rabbits and the farmers just said,
C Am
"We'll poison those rabbits 'til the last dog is dead."
[Refrão]
The people are scratching all over the street
Because the rabbits had nothing to eat.
[Verso 5]
Am Dm
Up in the sky there were meat-eating fowls.
The dead rabbits poisoned the hawks and the owls.
Thousands of field mice the hawks used to chase
Were multiplying all over the place.
[Refrão]
The people are scratching all over the street
Because the rabbits had nothing to eat.
[Verso 6]
Am Dm
The fields and the meadows were barren and brown.
The mice got hungry and they moved into town.
The city folk all took the farmer's advice
C Am
And all of them started to poison the mice.
[Refrão]
The people are scratching all over the street
Because the rabbits had nothing to eat.
[Verso 7]
Am Dm
There were dead mice in all the apartments and flats.
The cats ate the mice and the mice killed the cats.
The smell was awful and I'm glad to say
C Am
I wasn't the man hired to haul them away.
[Refrão]
The people are scratching all over the street
Because the rabbits had nothing to eat.
[Verso 8]
Am Dm
All through the country and all through the town
There wasn't a dog or cat to be found.
The fleas asked each other, "Where shall we stay?"
C Am
They've been on the people from then 'til this day.
[Refrão]
The people are scratching all over the street
Because the rabbits had nothing to eat.
[Verso 9]
Am Dm
All you small creatures throughout this land
Stay clear of the man with the poisonous hand!
A few bales of hay might keep you alive
C Am
But he'll pay more to kill you than let you survive.
[Refrão]
The people are scratching all over the street
Because the rabbits had nothing to eat.
