[Verse 1]

Dm C F Bb
I thought that I've complained before,
Dm C F Bb
But this year I'm complaining so much more
Dm C F Bb
I've only been here for two nights
Dm C F Bb
And I think I've got a thousand skeeter bites

[Chorus]

Bb C
And my site's a little too far from the wata,
Dm Bb
And there aren't as many trees here as there oughta be,
C
And I ate some krispy treats made by my brother
Dm
Move on

Dm C
You watch me Sweating from the sun's heat
F
I'm baking, Whining bout my family
Bb Dm C
But I'll be having campfire wishes,
Dm Bb
Me and all my fishes
Dm
I'm tripping tent stakes,
C F
I'm aching raccoons got my corn flakes
Bb Dm C
But I'll be having campfire wishes,
F Bb
Me and all my fishes

[Verse 2]

Dm C F Bb
There's oh so many I can blame
Dm C F Bb
But honestly who asked for all this rain
Dm C F Bb
Pinata swatted me right back
Dm C
Now I've gotta sing this solo
F Bb
Bbause Katie's got too much yolo

[Chorus]

Bb C
And I heard that there's a problem with the faucet
Dm Bb
And my marshmallow melted in the fire
Bb C
And some story about our grandpa in a closet?
Dm
Move on

Dm C
Some history, Grandpa George was packing,
F
G stakeout Ethel tried for take out
Bb Dm C
But don't you take Aunt Mary's dishes,
F Bb
Or you'll be getting stitches

Couch Hot Dog

Top Song in August 2013[INTRO]  
G
D
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
[Verse 1]
G
If you hungry I got a treat for you
It's from the sofa So what you gonna do
D
Maybe I'll starve to death If I eat it I'll go blind
Maybe I'm out of my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
G
It's from a Christmas past, and tales of yesteryear
It's just a hot dog, so what you got to fear
D
Just take a little bit
You wont need to vomit
It's got 800 comments
That's why I'm gon' take a
[Chorus]
G
Hot dog
It's from the sofa
It's not meat loafa
It's made from gofa
D
It's a hot dog
It just a wiener
That lost it's sheener
And's a little greener
G
You hate this hot dog
It's kinda scary
It's kinda hairy
Not kinda VERY
D
But it's a hot dog
It's good to eat it
You just can't beat it
Go ahead get at meat
[Verse 2]
G
You say it ain't food no more
But was it really food before?
What's the FDA for?
Vintage dogs upholstered in place
D
A taste that's so true
Hey, hey, hey
It's not like duck stew
Hey, hey, hey
What rhymes with duck stew?
Hey, hey, hey
[Pre-chorus:]
G
This family's kind of weird, they made me write this song
It's what the children feared, but I can do no wrong
G
This song goin down hill now
Hey, hey, hey
This could get insulting
Hey, hey, hey
It ain't nobody's faulting
Hey, hey, hey
[Chorus:]
G
That's why we're singing bout a couch dog
Topics departed
Look what we've started
Think Tracy farted
D
It's a couch dog
I added ketchup
Still tastes like plastic
This song's a classic
G
You hate this hot dog
I know you want it
You hate this hot dog
I know you want it
Its growing mold
I know you want it
D
But it's a hot dog
Mysterious meat
Tastes more like stank feet
Go ahead and try me
[Verse 3:]
G
One thing I ask of you
Don't get anywhere near me with that nasty food
It's black and blue, and halfway chewed
For a couch hot dog, that's nearly new.
D
If you're making s'mores then make me two
Throw a Rollo in the middle, it's something good
Fish party is laughable
But I could use a bit of neon green
G
Watch your back, 'cause I'ma throw it and make a scene
We could take a paddle boat, try to do a lap
Try to see if it'll float when we're piled up
D
And I Am not Above the love of a Jello shot
And I couldn't think of any words
That would finish up this verse
It's absurd
So back to you, Mike
[Bridge]
G
Shake your rump , get down, get up
D
Eat it like it hurt, like it hurt
What you doing like word
[Pre-Chorus]
G
Baby can you breathe? It's smells like stanky bratwurst
But hey the food is free If your appendix don't burst
D
That wieners so inviting
Hey, hey, hey
Why the heck we even fighting?
Hey, hey, hey
We used to camp at Brighton
[Chorus:]
G
That's why I wanted a couch dog
It's from the sofa
It's not meat loafa
It's made from gofa
D
It's a hot dog
It just a wiener
That lost it's sheener
And's a little greener
G
You hate this hot dog
It's kinda scary
It's kinda hairy
Not kinda VERY
D
But it's a hot dog
It's good to eat it
You just can't beat it
Go ahead get at meat
[Outro]
G
Everybody get up
Everybody get up
D
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

This Camp

[Verse 1]
F
Waking up to neck pain from sleeping in tents
Dm7
Even hanging out with folks who voted Trump/Pence
Bbadd9
It’s hard
F
Yesterday was too hot, today is too damp
Dm7
It's funny how things never change in this Codd Camp
Bbadd9 C
So far from the bars
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm7 C
And it's all about the simple things
F C/E Dm7
Like glowstick wars and neon green and red cups around
Gm7 C
And all the many songs to sing
F F/E Dm7
From when we were the children playing at every campground
Bb
And now I'm back with you now
[Chorus]
Dm7
If the whole world was burning I'd still camp with you
Bbadd9
Drive highways and byways to drink the night through
F
Over and over with friends and fam
Dm C F Bbadd9
Sing Oh Wah Tygoo Siam
Dm7 C F
Mmm-mm-mm

[Verse 2]
F
Each football game we play will end in a tie
Dm
And if the coals are too hot you'll burn your pizza pie
Bbadd9
It’s so hard
C
So hard

[Pre-Chorus]
Gm7 C
And it's all about the stranger things
F F/E Dm7
Like ranger traps and Ranger Pats and mannequins we found
Gm7 C
And all the many songs to sing
F F/E Dm7
From when we were the children playing at every campground
Bbadd9
And now I'm back with you now
[Chorus]
Dm7
If the whole world was burning I'd still camp with you
Bbadd9
Drive highways and byways to drink the night through
F
Over and over with friends and fam
Dm C F Bbadd9
Sing Oh Wah Tygoo Siam
F
You still call it rustic with your new microwave
Dm7
And the DNR comes from a far they say to behave
Bbadd9
Over and over the only truth
Dm7 C F Bbadd9
Sing Oh Wah Tygoo Siam
Dm7 C F
Mmm-mm-mm

[Bridge]
Dm7 F/E
And the stars in the sky
F
They make me ask why
Bbadd9
I'd ever leave here
[Chorus]
Dm7
Cause if the whole world was burning I'd still camp with you
Bbadd9
Drive highways and byways to drink the night through
F
Over and over with friends and fam
Dm7 C F Bbadd9
Sing Oh Wah Tygoo Siam
F
You still call it rustic with your satellite dish
Dm7
And seriously whats with this obsession with fish?
[Outro]
Bbadd9
Over and over with friends and fam
Dm7 C F Bbadd9
Sing Oh Wah Tygoo Siam
Dm7 C F
Mmm-mm-mm
Dm7 C F Bbadd9
Sing Oh Wah Tygoo Siam

Hotel California

[Verse]
Dm A7
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
C G
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
Bb F
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
Gm
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
A
I had to stop for the night
Dm A7
There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell
C
And I was thinking to myself
G
This could be heaven or this could be hell
Bb F
Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way
Gm
There were voices down the corridor,
A
I thought I heard them say…
[Chorus]
Bb F
Welcome to the Hotel California.
A7 Dm
Such a lovely place, (such a lovely place), such a lovely face
Bb F
There's plenty of room at the Hotel California
Gm A
Any time of year, (any time of year) You can find it here
[Verse]
Dm A7
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, She got the Mercedes bends
C G
She got a lot of pretty pretty boys she calls friends
Bb F
How they danced in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Gm A
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
Dm A7
So I called up the captain; Please bring me my wine (he said)
C G
We haven't had that spirit here since 1969
Bb F
and still those voices are calling from far away
Gm
Wake you up in the middle of the night
A
Just to hear them say…
[Chorus]
Bb F
Welcome to the Hotel California.
A7 Dm
Such a lovely place, (such a lovely place), such a lovely face
Bb F
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California
Gm A
What a nice surprise, (what a nice surprise) Bring your alibis
[Verse]
Dm A7
Mirrors on the ceiling; the pink champagne on ice (and she said)
C G
We are all just prisoners here, of our own device
Bb F
and in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast
Gm
They stab it with their steely knives but they
A
just can't kill the beast
Dm A7
Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
C G
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
Bb F
"Relax" said the night man; we are programmed to receive
Gm
You can check out any time you like
A
But you can never leave…

American Pie

[Verse 1]
F C/E Dm7
G long, long time ago,
Gm Bb Dm C
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
F C/E Dm7
And I know if I had my chance,
Gm Bb Dm Bb C
That I could make those people dance and maybe they'd be happy for a while
Dm Gm Dm Gm
But February made me shiver, with every paper I'd deliver
Bb F Gm Bb C
Bad news on the doorstep, I couldn't take one more step
F C/E Dm Gm7 C
I can't remember if I cried when I read about his widowed bride
F C Dm
Something touched me deep inside
Bb C7 F
The day the music died
[Chorus]
F Bb F C
So bye, bye Miss Gmerican Pie
F Bb F C
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
F Bb F C
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Dm* G7* Dm* C7
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die
[Verse 2]
F Gm
Did you write the book of love
Bb Gm Dm C
And do you have faith in god above, if the bible tells you so?
F C/E Dm
Do you believe in rock and roll
Gm7 Bb Dm G7 C
Can music save your mortal soul and can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Dm* C* Dm* C*
Well I know that you're in love with him 'cuz I saw you dancin' in the gym
Bb F G7 Bb C7
You both kicked off your shoes, man I dig those rhythm and blues
F C/E Dm Gm Bb
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck with a pink carnation and a pickup truck
F C/E Dm Bb C7 F Bb F
But I knew I was out of luck the day the music died, I started singin'
[Chorus]
F Bb F C
So bye, bye Miss Gmerican Pie
F Bb F C
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
F Bb F C
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Dm* G7* Dm* C7
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die
[Verse 3]
F Gm
Now for ten years we've been on our own,
Bb Gm Dm C
and moss grows fat on a rolling stone but that's not how it used to be
F C/E Dm
When the jester sang for the king and queen
Gm7 Bb Dm G7 C
in a coat he borrowed from James Dean in a voice that came from you and me
Dm* C* Dm* C*
And while the king was looking down, the jester stole his thorny crown
Bb F G7 Bb C7
The courtroom was adjourned, no verdict was returned
F C/E Dm Gm Bb
And while Lenin read a book on Marx, the quartet practiced in the park
F C/E Dm Bb C7 F Bb F
And we sang dirges in the dark the day the music died, we were singin'
[Chorus]
F Bb F C
So bye, bye Miss Gmerican Pie
F Bb F C
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
F Bb F C
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Dm* G7* Dm* C7
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die
[Verse 4]
F Gm
Helter skelter in a summer swelter
Bb Gm Dm C
the birds flew off with a fallout shelter, eight miles high and fallin' fast
F C/E Dm
It landed foul on the grass
Gm7 Bb Dm G7 C
the players tried for a forward pass, with the jester on the sidelines in a cast
Dm* C* Dm* C*
Now at halftime there was sweet perfume, while sergeants played a marching tune
Bb F G7 Bb C7
We all got up to dance, but we never got the chance
F C/E Dm Gm Bb
'Cuz the players tried to take the field, the marching band refused to yield
F C/E Dm Bb C7 F Bb F
Do you recall what was the feel the day the music died, we started singin'
[Chorus]
F Bb F C
So bye, bye Miss Gmerican Pie
F Bb F C
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
F Bb F C
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Dm* G7* Dm* C7
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die
[Verse 5]
F Gm
And there we were all in one place,
Bb Gm Dm C
a generation lost in space, with no time left to start again
F C/E Dm Gm7 Bb
So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack Flash sat on a candle
Dm G7 C
stick, 'cuz fire is the devil's only friend
Dm* C* Dm* C*
And as I watched him on the stage, my hands were clenched in fists of rage
Bb F G7 Bb C7
No angel born in Hell could break that Satan's spell
F C/E Dm Gm Bb
And as the flames climbed high into the night to light the sacrificial rite
F C/E Dm Bb C7 F Bb F
I saw Satan laughing with delight the day the music died, he was singin'
[Chorus]
F Bb F C
So bye, bye Miss Gmerican Pie
F Bb F C
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
F Bb F C
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Dm* G7* Dm* C7
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die
[Verse 6]
F C/E Dm
I met a girl who sang the blues
Gm Bb Dm C
And I asked her for some happy news, but she just smiled and turned away
F C/E Dm
I went down to the sacred store
Gm Bb Dm Bb
Where I'd heard the music years before, but the man there said the music
C
wouldn't play
Dm* Gm* Dm* Gm*
But in the streets the children screamed, the lovers cried and the poets dreamed
Bb F Gm Bb C
But not a word was spoken, the church bells all were broken
F C/E Dm Gm7 Bb C7
And the three men I admire most, the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
F C/E Dm Gm7 C7 F
They caught the last train for the coast the day the music died,
N.C.
And they were singin'
[Chorus]
F Bb F C
So bye, bye Miss Gmerican Pie
F Bb F C
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
F Bb F C
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Dm* G7* Dm* C7
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die
F Bb F C
So bye, bye Miss Gmerican Pie
F Bb F C
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
F Bb F C
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Bb C7 F Bb F
Singin' this will be the day that I die.
