Boris The Bat Acordes

[Intro]
Am G F E  x4
 
[Verse 1]
       Am                   E
There once was a bat named Boris
    Am                    E
He lived in the belfry instead of in the forest
        F                    C           E                                      E E7 E E7 E E7 E
And he used to hang around, upside down, high up in the church at the edge of town
 
[Chorus 1]
  F                 Am              C                             E
Dingling, dangling upside down, he couldn't see too well but he heard the slightest sound
           Am         G           F             C     E                                    Am
From the flutter of a moth to a splutter and a cough, high up in the church at the edge of town
 
[Refrain]

[Verse 2]
  Am                   E
A belfry is where they keep the bells
Am                   E
Dark and dusty with lots of musty smells
        F                          C                   E                         E E7 E E7 E E7 E
It's a probable fact you wouldn't fancy that but it's just the job if you're a bat
 
[Chorus 2]
  F                 Am              C                             E
Dingling, dangling upside down, he couldn't see too well but he heard the slightest sound
           Am         G           F             C      E                                    Am
From the flutter of a moth to a splutter and a cough, high up in the belfry at the edge of town
 
[Refrain]
Am G F E  x2
 
[Verse 3]
  Am                     E
Bats in the belfry they should be in the forest
     Am                     E
The vicar wasn't pleased to be quite honest
    F                        C                      E                               E E7 E E7 E E7 E
He said that the bats would have to go away, but he changed his mind the very next day
 
[Chorus 3]
  F                 Am              C                             E
Dingling, dangling upside down, he couldn't see too well but he heard the slightest sound
           Am         G           F             C      E                                    Am
From the flutter of a moth to a splutter and a cough, high up in the belfry at the edge of town
 
[Refrain]

[Verse 4]
  Am                     E
That night some burglars came to rob the church
  Am                      E
Boris he heard them and fluttered off his perch
         F                          C                E                                      E E7 E E7 E E7 E
And the shadows of his wings in the pale moonlight, made them drop their bag, well they got such a fright
 
[Chorus 4]
  F                 Am              C                             E
Dingling, dangling upside down, he couldn't see too well but he heard the slightest sound
           Am         G           F             C      E                                    Am
From the flutter of a moth to a splutter and a cough, high up in the belfry at the edge of town

[Chorus 5]
  F                 Am              C                             E
Dingling, dangling upside down, he couldn't see too well but he heard the slightest sound
           Am         G           F             C      E                                    Am
From the flutter of a moth to a splutter and a cough, high up in the belfry at the edge of town
 
[Refrain]

[Verse 5]
Am                          E
Off went the burglars they left behind their bag
      Am                    E
They only got a scare they didin't get the swag
         F                       C                  E                                      E E7 E E7 E E7 E
And the vicar was so pleased as far as I can tell, Boris the bat still sleeps among the bells
 
[Chorus 6]
  F                 Am              C                             E
Dingling, dangling upside down, he couldn't see too well but he heard the slightest sound
           Am         G           F             C      E                                    Am
From the flutter of a moth to a splutter and a cough, high up in the belfry at the edge of town
