[Intro]
F Bb

[Verse]
F Bb
I was unpacking my suitcase, 
Pulling out dirty clothes
F Bb

When evocative aromas hit my nose
F Bb
One shirt smelled of your smoky loft
F Bb
Another strongly of spilt vodka
Gm Bb
And it occurred to me, how much I brought home

Gm Bb
And knowingly you had loaded me up
F Bb

With the stuff to survive
F Bb
Through lean times so starved I could just wither and die


[Chorus]
F C Bb
But I was saving little chunks, 
of your sweet sweet goodness
F C Bb

And squirrelin them away
F C Bb

I was squirrelin them away
F C Bb
I was saving healthy chunks, of your sweet sweet goodness
F C Gm
And squirrelin them away
C Dm Bb
For the long lean winter

[Verse]
Gm C Dm Bb
All of y’all, so lush and generous
Gm C Dm Bb

It can get lean and lonely where I hail from
Gm C Dm Bb
But each luscious one of you, 
gave me bounteous charms to chew


[Chorus]
F C Bb

And I was stuffing, stretching, smiley-cheeked 
for the extent of my stay
F C Bb
you could say that I was, 
squirrelin it away
F C Bb
I was just squirrelin it away
