Tom: Am
C Dm C Dm C Dm Em F
I was tromping the jungles, there was nothing to find
C Dm C Dm C Dm Em F
No mastodon so that I could be the guy that provides
Am E7
With empty hands, I headed on home
F D C G F
Live long enough, you're gonna choke on a bone, hey, hey
[Pre-Chorus]
D C G
Hey, hey
C G
That's just the way that it goes
[Chorus]
C Dm C Dm
Now I'm sinking in the La Brea Tar Pits
C Dm Em F
And I don't want to die 'cause there's still so much to give
C Dm C Dm
I'm sinking, could you give me a lift?
C Dm Em F
Wanna make an escape but don't know where to begin
[Verse 2]
C Dm C Dm C Dm Em F
Each time I wriggle, I sink a little deeper, ah, damn
C Dm C Dm C Dm Em F
So let me try to persuade you all to lend me a hand
Am E7
Good with a spear and settling fights
F D C G
Do anything for the good of the tribe, hey, hey
[Pre-Chorus]
C
Could you throw me a rope?
G
(Throw me a rope)
[Chorus]
C Dm C Dm
Now I'm sinking in the La Brea Tar Pits
C Dm Em F
And I don't want to die 'cause there's still so much to give
C Dm C Dm
I'm sinking, could you give me a lift?
C Dm Em F
Wanna make an escape but don't know where to begin
[Outro]
