The Squirrels Are Taking Over

	     Am                        G
	When we moved in, we loved the neighbourhood
	     F                      Am G F
	We couldn't have asked for more
	       Am        G             
	Though I admit I kinda wondered 'bout the
	F                G
	crucifix on each door.

	    Am                G
	We planted roses, revamped the roof, the
	F                     Am        G   F
	future was looking bright, but then we
	Am                     G
	started hearing the strangest noises
	F                       G
	behind the walls at night...

	The squirrels are takin' over, they've
	C                    Am
	killed my plants and eaten Rover, my
	F                                 F
	postman used to think they were cute
	             C 
	but now he's gone (gone gone gone)
	         G                    F                C
	They're coming for me now, I think it won't be long.

	    Am              G
	One morning we saw Mrs. S.
	      F                         Am G F
	Our next door neighbour, she's sweet!
	   Am                     G
	We waved but I guess she didn't see us
	    F                 G
	as she ran down the street.

	     Am              G
	Suddenly we noticed something weird,
	    F                          Am  G F
	a seething mass of black and brown
	     Am            G
	and then the Evil Squirrel Horde took
	F                   G
	Mrs. Scuridopolous down.

	    F              G
	We boarded up the windows
	    C              Am
	put garlic on the door
	    F            G
	Yet every day we found more scratches
	     F                     G
	and peanut shells on the floor.

	          F                     G
	"This is stupid," my boyfriend said, "Squirrels are
	C                       Am  
	harmless and that's a fact!
	     F                G
	I'm going outside to check things out
	      F                    G
	Stay here...I'LL BE RIGHT BACK."
