Ab
When I was nine years old
Eb              Cm
Way back in Ohio
Fm
The hired man was digging up a well on my father's land
Fm                         Eb
He found a fossil there

Ab
It was a massive bone
           Eb             Cm
And since then I've known
        Fm
That a race of giants lived in the northern hemisphere
Eb
Ten thousand years ago they lived right here

            Ab
It seems incredible
         Eb            Cm
But yet it's the truth
       Fm
That a fossilized and petrified
                           Eb
Calcified primeval brute

Ab
Was turned to stone
Eb                  Cm
But he was not alone
            Fm
There were hundreds of them walking on the sands of the river
                                         Eb   Db
Even giants think they'll always live forever

Db
Ah ha
    Fm
ah ha ah ah
Ab
mm-mm-hmm-mm
G       Cm   Fm
mm-hmm mm-hm mm-hm

         Ab
Where a stream once flowed
          Eb
Into the Ohio
Fm                                                   Eb
Everything was turned to sto-oa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohne
          Ab
The bible speaks of this
          Eb
There were giants in our midst
          Fm
But they slaughtered one another in a meaningless war
Eb
Thank your lucky stars that we don't do that anymore

Db
That gravel-encrusted skull
                             Cm
That was found on the river shore
Fm
Double rows of very sharp teeth

The massive jaw measured twenty-five feet
           Db              Cm
Well it's turned to stone
            Fm
There were hundreds of them walking on the sands of the river
Ab                         G                 Fm
Even giants think they'll always live forever
