LITTLE OLD SOD SHANTY ON MY CLAIM
American pioneer song
Key: D

-7   -7  -7   -8  -7  -7 -6*-6*
I’m look-ing rath-er seed-y now
 -5    6   -5   -5  -4  -5
While hold-ing down my claim
-5  -5 -5   -5  -6* -6* -8  -7
And my vit-tles are not al-ways
 -6*   -6*  6
Served the best
-6*  7   -7   -7  -8  -7   -7  -6*
And the mice play shy-ly ‘round me
-6*-5 6  -5   -5  -4  -5
As I nes-tle down to rest
-5 6  -6* -7  -7  -6*  6   7
In my lit-tle old sod shan-ty
-6* 6   -5
In the West
6   -6*  7   7   7  7   -8  -8
Oh, the hing-es are of leath-er
-8  -8  -8   -7   -7 -6*  -7
And the win-dows have no glass
-5    -5    -5  -5
The boards they let 
-5   -8  -7   -6*  -6* 6
The howl-ing bliz-zard in
-6*  7  -7  -7  -8  -7  -7  -6*
You can see the hun-gry coy-ote
6  -5   6    -5 -5 -4   -5
As he slinks up in the grass
  -5   6  -6* -7  -7  -6*  6   7
‘Round my lit-tle old sod shan-ty
-6* 6  -5
On my claim
