Am C
He was skinny as a rake, like a two by four,
G Em
Ugly as sin, born premature;
Am Em C G
Mother had trouble trying to take
Am G Am
To a kid that looked like a garden rake.
C G
Ah sons are sons, and Dad wasn't proud,
Am G Em
Didn't make him feel like one of the crowd;
Am Em C G
The wood-cuttin' boys from up in the sticks
Am G Am
Laughed at the sight of Earle. (Wimp!)
Am C
He was treated like scum and he felt like dirt,
G Em
Couldn't lift a chainsaw,make it work;
Am Em C G
Father often said that he didn't have a clue,

And Mother didn't feed him, and he hardly grew.(Hungry!..I'm hungry!)
C G
So Earle disappeared for fifteen years,
Am G Em
Father didn't miss him and his Mother didn't care;

Am G Am
Who would save their town? (Save me! Save Me!)
Am C
And nobody knew, neither foe nor friend,
G Em
That Earle had grown to seven foot ten;
C G
Arms like culverts, legs like trees,
Am G Am
Fists like hammers and hairy knees. (Shave me! Shave me!)
C G

Am G Em
Came a sound nobody had heard before;
