  INTRO: 3 progressions of D Bm G D

  

  <D Bm G D x4>

  She was once an attraction at the county fair

  and now she sleeps in a box at the top of the stairs

  and she loves it here make no mistake

  cause she can earn her keep by chasin snakes

  

  <D Bm G D x2>

  And if I wake up late at night i know that everything will 

  be alright, cause crawling round on my room is the woman 

  who was also a mongoose

            

  <D Bm G D x2> A

  

  (D Bm G D)x4

  She was born in May ninety years ago

  In a little town outside Buffalo

  but the town folk feared her and they chased her away

  and now she's happy with a place to stay

  

  <D Bm G D x2>

  And if I wake up late at night i know that everything will 

  be alright, cause crawling round on my room is the woman 

  who was also a mongoose

  

  (D Bm G D)x4

  She trapped a rattler out behind the barn

  and she let it go without any harm

  then she came inside for a cup of tea

  and she spoke for a while with my brother and me

  

  <D Bm G D x2>

  chasing after feild mice running through the high grass 

  thats what she loves to do

  and if she's happy as a mongoose, shouldn't bother me or you

  

  <D Bm G D x2>

  And if I wake up late at night i know that everything will 

  be alright, cause crawling round on my room is the woman 

  who was also a mongoose

  

  (D Bm G D) x2   A  <end on> D
