                                      G               
Hid in the hills ‘cause his face was scarred from 

     A                             E  
A wrestlin’ match with a grizzly bear 

     D                                  A 
He carved him a hole in the belly of a giant, 

                  E 
A giant oak tree

        E                 G                            A                   E 
Now Jay Ulysses swore his vengeance on that grizzly bear 

                                         G 
He’d run through the hills screamin’ and a shoutin’ 

      A                            E 
At bears that weren’t even there. 

                     G                                              B7 
People in the town would lay and shiver in their sleep 

When he went, 

 A                        E 
Grr  --  ha – ha  - come on bear, 

A                        E 
Grr --  ha – ha – I’m gonna get you bear. 

               D                   A                                             E

                                                    G 
You’d better start runnin’ when you hear him comin’ 

                   A                                E

Jay Ulysses Moses Hanson finally cornered that grizzly bear 
   
   E                   G 
Legend says, outside of the town 

              A                              E 
That the two giants met out on open ground, 

 D                   A                                            E 
Jay Ulysses Moses Hanson - - and the grizzly bear. 

   E                                    G 
Three days later, when the dust had settled, 

    A                                      E 
Ulysses and the bear weren’t there, 

                           G 
The people said “hey, it’s finally over”, 

              A                   E 
But the story didn’t end there, 

                    G 
‘cause, on a still night, deep in the hills, 

                           B7 
If you listen you’ll hear 

A               E 
Ha – Ha – come on bear, 

A              E 
Ha – ha – I’m gonna get you bear, well there they go, 

                          G 
There the hill is smoking - - -
