Topic: "Mama Bear" for Mother's Day
Here is little 3-chord celebratory song just for Mother's Day.
I started out writing a song for my wife, but I think I'll have to start again because this bouncy little ditty is not quite what I had in mind.

for Mother's Day
The [G]forest is a scary place, full of fearsome [C]beasts . . .
[C]Predatory [G]critters upon your flesh will [D]feast.
[G]Snarling fangs 'n scary growls, big bumps in the [C]dark . . .
[C]Growing up in the [G]forest is [D]not a walk in the [G]park.
Oh [C]Mama Bear she loves her cubs, she keeps 'em safe 'n [G]sound
[C]Feeds them milk and [G]honey and grubs from under-[D]ground . . .
[G]Mama Bear protects her brood and helps them to sur-[C]vive . . .
She [C]keeps away all [G]dangers and [D]helps her babies [G]thrive.
Well [G]baby bears are cute as can be, curious little [C]tikes . . .
They [C]know to follow [G]mama on daily nature [D]hikes.
She [G]shows them where to look for food and how to climb up [C]trees . . .
Be-[C]comes a snarling [G]warrior when [D]danger she per-[G]ceives.
Oh [C]Mama Bear she loves her cubs, she keeps 'em safe 'n [G]sound,
[C]Feeds them milk and [G]honey and grubs from under-[D]ground . . .
[G]Mama Bear protects her brood and helps them to sur-[C]vive . . .
She [C]keeps away all [G]dangers and [D]helps her babies [G]thrive.
So [G]don't you mess with Mama Bear, and she won't mess with [C]you . . .
[C]She just wants to [G]live in peace and raise her precious [D]brood.
Don't [G]interfere with baby bears, that really is not [C]good,
'Cause [C]Mama Bear will [G]eat you, you'll be [D]bear poop in the [G]woods!
Oh [C]Mama Bear she loves her cubs, she keeps 'em safe 'n [G]sound
[C]Feeds them milk and [G]honey and grubs from under-[D]ground . . .
[G]Mama Bear protects her brood and helps them to sur-[C]vive . . .
She [C]keeps away all [G]dangers and [D]helps her babies [G]thrive.
