Bears By Steven Fromholz From The "A Rumor In My Own Time" LP G Em C There's some folks say there ain't no bears in Arkansas F C G There's some folks never seen a bear at all G Em C There's some folks say the bears go 'round eatin' babies raw F C G Some folks got a bear across the hall There's some folks say the bears go round smellin' bad Others say that a bear is honey sweet And some folks say "This bear's the best I ever had." There's some folks got a bear rug beneath their feet. Some folks drive the beard out of the wilderness And some to see a bear will pay a fee And me, I just bear up to my bewildered best And there's some folks even seen the bear in me. Repeat So meet a bear, take him out to lunch with you And even though you friends may stop and stare Just remember that's a bear there, where? A bear there in the bunch with you And they just don't come no better than a bear F C G No, they just don't come no better than a bear F C G They just don't come no better than a bear F C Well, they just don't come no better than F C No, they just don't come no better than F C G No, they just don't come no better than a bear.
