Bad to swallow you whole

Throw your trolls out the door

E         A        F#      B
I've been there I know the way
                  Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way
                  Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way
                  Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way
                         .......F#

{same as other verse}
When your hands are feeling empty
Stick head jumpin off the ground, 'round
Tris is sure to shirr the deers out
Brother Ray can sing my song

I've been there I know the way
                  Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way
                  Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way
                  Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way

B            D                  A   B
Hands down, Calechee bound
B           D                  A   B
Landlocked kiss the ground
Dirt of seven continents going round and round
Go on ahead Mr. Citywide hypnotized, suit and tied
Gentlemen, testify
                      .....F#

{same as before}
If your world is a monster
Bad to swallow you whole
Philomath they know the lowdown
Throw your trolls out the door

I've been there I know the way
                  Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way
                  Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way
                  Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way

Thank you, Ray.
