Verse 1
Wherever I D7 wander... wherever I G roam
I couldn't be D7 fonder... of my big G home G7
The bees are C buzzin' in the Cm tree
To make some G honey just for A7 me
When A7 you look under the rocks and plants
And D7* take a glance... at the fancy ants, then G maybe
Try a E7 few
The bare neA7cessities of D7 life will come to G you
They’ll D7 come to you G G*

Verse 2
Now when you pick a D7 paw-paw, Or a prickly G pear
And you prick a D7 raw paw, Next time G beware G7
Don't pick the C prickly pear by the C7 paw
When you pick a G pear, Try to use the G7 claw
But A7 you don't need to use the claw
When D you pick a pear of the D7 big paw-paw G
Have I given you a E7 clue ?
The bare neA7cessities of D7 life will come to G you
They’ll D7 come to you G*
Chorus
