Lyrics

There’s a big ol’ (Bb5)hole

that goes right through the sole

of this old (F5)shoe;

and the (Bb)wa ter on the ground ain’t got (Eb)no place else it’s found,

so it’s on ly got (F5)one thing left to do:

Just (F)creep

(Eb)on

in,

(F)creep

(Eb)on

in.

And (F)once it has be gun, it won’t (F)stop un til it’s done sneak in’ in.

There’s a sil ver moon

that came a (Eb)lit tle too soon,

oh, for me to (F5)bear.

It shines (Bb)bright ly on my (Bb7)bed, and the shad ows o ver head

won’t let me sleep as long as it’s (Bb5)there.

They just (F)creep

(Eb)on

in,

(F)creep

on in.

And (F)once it has be gun, it won’t (F)stop un til it’s done sneak in’ in.

There’s a big ol’ hole,

it goes right through my soul;

aw, that ain’t noth in’ new.

So as (Bb)long as you’re a (Bb7)round and got (Eb)no place else you’ve found,

there’s on ly one thing (F5)left for you to do:

you just (F5)creep

(Eb)on

in,

(F5)creep

on in.

And (F5)once you have be gun,

don’t (F5)stop un til you’re done sneak in’ in.

and (F5)once it has be gun, it won’t (F5)stop un til it’s done sneak in’ in.

and (F5)once it has be gun, it won’t (F5)stop un til it’s done sneak in’ in,

(Eb)sneak in’ in, (Sneak in’ (Eb)in, sneak in’ in.

creep in’ (Eb)in.) Sneak in’ in, (Sneak in’ (Eb)in, sneak in’ in.

creep in’ (Eb)in.) Sneak in’ in,
