THE PITS
[Chorus]
G D
It's the 24th of May and we likes to get away
A
Up in the woods or going out the bay
D G D
There's all kinds of places but the place we likes to get
Bm D A D
Is up on the highway in the grav-el pits
[Instrumental]
Bm D A D
[Verse]
D G D
We loves to go out in the good old gravel pits
Bm D A
We loves to go out there when life gets smelly
D G D
We can spray paint our names on the face of the cliff
Bm D A D
Go up to the Irving for a coke and chips
D G D
Hitches up the camper and out of town we go
Bm D A
Out on the highway with everything in tow
D G D
The dog is in the back seat and Grandfather's drunk
Bm D A D
Youngsters in the trailer and the wife is in the trunk
[Chorus]
G D
It's the 24th of May and we likes to get away
A
Up in the woods or going out the bay
D G D
There's all kinds of places but the place we likes to get

Is up on the highway in the grav-el pits
[Instrumental]
Bm D A D
[Verse]
D G D
John is coming over and Sue and Henry too
Bm D A
We polish off a bottle and a pot of moose stew
D G D
We tell a few stories, an awful lot of lies
Bm D A D
Green boughs on the fire to keep away the flies
D G D
The youngsters gets excited then they starts to bounce and jump up
Bm D A
When we piles in the car and goes up to the dump
D G D
It's cheaper than the movies so we all sits and stares
Bm D A D
Up by the garbage b'y you're lookin at the bears
[Chorus]

[Instrumental]
Bm D A D
[Verse]
D G D
We flies a Newfie flag on an old spruce pole
Bm D A
And drowns a few worms in a tractor mud hole
D G D
Then listens to the radio we plays it good and loud
Bm D A D
A scoff on the Coleman stove is bound to draw a crowd
D G D
When the weekend's over and we're headed back to town
Bm D A
A half inch of sloppy snow lying on the ground
D G D
A hundred dollars poorer, who wants to be rich
Bm D A D
We just had a lovely time out in the pits
[Chorus]
G D
It's the 24th of May and we likes to get away
A
Up in the woods or going out the bay
D G D
There's all kinds of places but the place we likes to get
Bm D A D
Is up on the highway in the grav-el pits
[Outro]
