[Verse 5]
D                   A
All my thoughts are hairs
     D         A
On a wild wild boar
        D           
Runnin' slowly down 
    A     D       A
the lilac slope
      D             A
We're tryin' not to scare
    D             A
The sweet prairie dogs
        D

We're vulpinous vultures

[Verse 6]
     D             A     
Give heals time to wound 
      D      A
as we lazily spoon
        D         A       D     A
Bend me over bend back my bow
    D             A
And take a little sniff
         D               A
And I'll grant you every wish
        D        
Glue my belly to 
     A           D     A
your gibbous rainbow
