'Alligator' by Grateful Dead - Guitar Tutorial

             C                      F         Am
Sleepy Alligator in the noon day sun, 
 C                               F       Am
Lyin' by the river just like he usually done. 
 C                           F             Am
Call for his whiskey, he can call for his tea, 
 C                           F          Am
Call all he want to, but he can't call me. 
 
 G
Oh no! I've been there before, 
 A
And I ain't gonna come around here no more. 
 
 C      Dm     F     C   C7
 
 F                     C
(Hung up, waitin' for windy day) 
 F                     C
(Hung up, waitin' for windy day) 
 
 F                       C
Creepy alligator coming all around the bend, 
 F                                    C
Shoutin' about the times when we was mutual friends, 
 F                        C
I checked my memory and I checked it quick, yes I will. 
 F                             C
I checked it runnin' some old kind of trick. 
 Dm              A
Oh no! Well I've been there before, 
 
 G7                           A
And I ain't gonna come around here any more. 
 
 A/E Part

 A                            E
Sailin' down the river in an old canoe, 
 A                      E
A bunch of bugs and an old tennis shoe. 
 A                    E
Out of the river all ugly and green, 
 A                              E
Came the biggest old alligator that I've ever seen! 
 A                            E
Teeth big and pointy and his eyes were buggin' out, 
 A                             E
Contracted the union, put the beggars to rout. 
 A                             E
Screamin' and yellin', he was pickin' his chops, 
 A                     E
He never runs he just stumbles and hops. 
 A                     E
Just out of prison on ten dollars bail, 
 A                    E
Mumblin' bitches and waggin' his tail. 
 
 E     D    Em   E
