VERSE 1

    C                  F   C 
The bear went over the mountain,

The bear went over the mountain,

And all that he could see,

                          F   C 
Was the other side of the mountain,

The other side of the mountain,

                      F 
The other side of the mountain,

Was all that he could see.
