VERSE 1:
          D        A             E            D
There's a knapsack rally for the stranger who told 
     D             A             B B B B
Of a spider, and a purple toad. 
D              A          E             D
  The things I heard were wretched, and slurred.

  Just give it some time. Your baby boy, he only naps. 


SOLO: (play solo in dotted rhythm. Notes in brackets are very hard or 
impossible to play [with the use of one single guitar]. Use the x’s at the 
top of the tab to determine beat rhythm. I apologize for the difficulty of 
reading this tab :D.)

Because there's nothing else to do for your son.

  He rose the dead. He's been sharing his bed

  Should you talk of the son on the run, 
     D                     A      B   B      B B
Your tongue will be ripped out by ducklings.

  Well Missy, sure you can look through my drawers. 
D          A          B
  I've got nothing to hide. (play as chords again)
D            A              E         D
