The Lumberjack Song
By Monty Python 

Ok…this is the tab. I tried to make it sound like the version form the “Concert for 
George” DVD. Ha ha…Tom Hanks is a mountie!

(Host/Lumberjack has an intro)

Bb                    Eb
I'm...                I'm...
F7                      Bb
I...                    work...

MOUNTIES:
Bb                     Eb
He's...                he's...
F7                         Bb
He...                     works...

LUMBERJACK HOST:
Bb                  Eb
I...                eat...
  F7             Bb
I...             lavatory.
Bb           Eb
On...        shopping
F7           Bb
And have...  tea.

MOUNTIES:
Bb                    Eb
He...             He eats...
      F7           Bb
He goes...         lavatory 
      Bb                    Eb
On Wednesdays...           shopping
    F7               Bb
And has...           tea.



The words go on for awhile(don't have 'em)...but they're available in other places.
Enjoy!

	For those of you in Boy Scouts, we named our patrol the Lumberjacks, in memory of this song. We wanted to use the song at our patrol yell, but our Scoutmaster wouldn't let us. Otherwise, awesome!

	About the parrot sketch- it was later on that (Hollywood Bowl I think)- but originally was at the end of the Homicdal Barber sketch- when they could't find a way to end it, Palin (and Jones I think) wrote it. Incidentally, they should have sung it in Brokeback Mountain (I'm a sheepherder and I'm OK).

	This song is about the changing of society's values towards acceptance of transvestites. As the song so elegantly illustrates, we are almost to the point of finally accepting those whose style is a little different, but not quite. The background singers, Canadian mounties to represent the common man, make it through two and a half verses before faltering and stopping the song. Though they do come back and finish out the chorus (more a gesture of kindness rather than one of acceptance), it is their reluctance to accept the narrator's eccentricities that makes this song one of the most relevant, powerful, and moving depictions of life as a transvestite that this world has ever seen. Ah, who am I kidding. It's just Monty Python at their goofy best. Great song.
