Lonely Moose Lament
Tomas Kubinek/Al Simmons


                       F6               D7                             G7
There's a Moose out there somewhere,
C7                                       F
Out in the wilderness,
        D7                                        G7
He walks all alone with magnificent might,
F6               D7                           Bb     B      C7
Nobody there to keep him warm at night,


                  F6              D7                  G7
With his crown of antler's, he's king of the trees,
  Bb                                                                        F                  D
Trudging through the snowdrifts, won't somebody please,
                  F6              D7                  G7
Tell the horse with humour he's nobody's mule,
                   Bb                          Db7                 F6            A7
He's all alone, he's on his own, he's a Moose...

 
Dm                                                 Bb7              A7
Steam rise off his back while he is ruminating
Cm                                                             Dm       Gm   A
Could there be some memory that he is contemplating
             Bb                                                                           Dm
Is he yearning to take - a swim in the lake on a summers afternoon
        Cm                                                                      Dm           Bb        A7
And dive for roots - in his birthday suit on a gorgeous day in June


      Bb
Oh, he could brood about his food
             Dm
And the things his days do not include
            Cm
But he's got a positive attitude
            Gm         B    C7     B7     C7
And he loves his solitude


                  F6              D7                 G7
With his crown of antler's, he's king of the trees,
  Bb                                                                        F                  D
Trudging through the snowdrifts, won't somebody please,
                  F6              D7                  G7
Tell the horse with humour he's nobody's mule,
                   Bb                          Db7                 F6            A7
He's all alone, he's on his own, he's a Moose.
