Intro: RIFF 1 X 4

Verse 1:
RIFF 1
Sugar town has turned so sour
its people angry in their sleep
There's more small-town paranoia
Sweeping down its evil sheets 

Chorus:
C
You better give me the chance
F
I'll cut you down with a glance
G				F
Yeh, with my small axe - so help me,
C
And tho' I'm only one
F
And tho' weak I'm strong
G
And if it comes to the crunch
F
Then I'm the woodcutter's son
RIFF 1
And I'm cutting down the wood for the good of everyone!
