lyrics

CHAINSAW CHARLIE d Barron

D Big old storm had blown on through
D Caught off guard don’t know what to do
G You should have seen the state we were D in
D Trees ripped up their roots exposed
D Power lines down row by row
G Oh by jeez we were in a state D

C he rode in in his pickup D truck
C Helping folks who were D down on their luck
C Chainsaw buzzing D night and day
F You should have seen A what he saw’d
F You should have seen A what he saw’d

D Electric out we were in the dark
D Tree’s knocked down you should have seen the park
G Hurricane Juan had us on our D knees
D People getting bent blood’s starting to boil
D They’re running out of two stroke oil
G Then Charlie show’d up to save the D day

CHORUS

(break over verse ) KAZOO SOLO!!

C he rode in in his pickup D truck
C Helping folks who were D down on their luck
C Chainsaw buzzing D night and day
F You should have seen A what he saw’d
