G
I'm feelin' high and I hope you are too
Em
since we' been smokin' that New Mexico Blue
C
But now it's gone and I want to get higher
G
We smoked it all and I'm filled with desire
G
I want to sit down and smoke me a bowl
C C7
'Cause it moves my mind and it moves my soul
G Am C7 G D
You know I got the Empty Baggie Blues
2.
G
Stop thinkin' about your past
Em
When it's one thing that will not last
C
It's like gettin' high on your very last dime
G
You won't be there again for a very long time
G
I want to sit down and light me a jay
C C7
'Cause it rolls me up and it blows me away
G Am C7 G
You know I got the Empty Baggie Blues
New Mexico Blue was worth a song, anyway. 'Twas decades ago, up at the old dome, whose wizardly master introduced this herbal inhalable. Just one ordinary silvery-blue leaf ignited in the then-new gandalfpipe was all one person needed. Extraordinary. Does it still exist today?

The Resistance of the Camel — The evening
1.
F C
It's the evening, night with no moon
Dm C Bb
Mist and rain have turned to snow
F C
Through the quiet, call of the loon
Dm (F) Dm
I know why you had to go
F C Dm
Hard to find my way without you
F C Dm
Hard to walk this path of ice
F C Dm
Hard to know I came to doubt you
Bbmaj7 C
Or to take my own advice

Snow is drifting, tracks disappear
Dm C Bb
Everywhere looks just the same
F C
Whitest darkness, nothing is clear
Dm (F) Dm
I don't even know my name
F C Dm
Hard to put the past behind us
F C Dm
Hard to think beyond today
F C Dm
Hard to see through desp'rate blindness
Bbmaj7 C
Hard to just recall the day
3. F C Frigid silence numb to the bone Dm C Bb Nothing left to think or feel F C All is empty, dead and alone Dm (F) Dm Wond'ring was it ever real? F C Dm Hard to keep my heart upon you F C Dm Hard to see the face I know F C Dm Hard to not just give up living Bbmaj7 C Now there's nothing else to do

1.
C
You say you want to go back,
Dm C
change what has been done,
F Em
But experience is fixed and as
Dm Bb
unyielding as the sun.
2.
C
You'd like to look ahead into
Dm C
tomorrow afternoon,
F Em
But potential times lay hidden like
Dm Bb
the dark side of the moon.
3.
C
You're running from the present.
Dm C
Moment still keeps flying by.
F Bb
Now's the only place to work in.
Eb C
Here's the only time to try.
4.
Am G
The present, past and future are
F C
but three links in a chain.
Am G
Our future's pleasures lie in hope
F Bb
of escaping living pain.
5.
C
Eventually we're born.
Dm C
We have to leave the womb behind.
F Em
Eventually we see ahead,
Dm Bb
the tomb is all we find.
6.
C
The past is pain we can't escape.
Dm C
It pushes us ahead.
F Bb
That's why we build for what we know
Eb C
comes after when we're dead.
7.
Am G
But now is all you have today
F G
you have to drink the cup,
Am G
And hope your past has prepared you
Bb C D3sus
for... what is coming up.

B Bb
You... can...
Eb
Spend your time in meditation
Db
Spend your time inside
Eb
It can be a kind of education
Db
Or a place to hide
Eb
Spend your time in thinking, reading,
Db
Talking while alone
Eb
Until you're through with all you are
Db
and everything you've known
Eb
And when it's not enough
Db
then you will come out of your cave
Eb
The first thing you will
Db
hear is how you're
C B
going to have to shave
2.
Bb
You can
Eb
Spend your time in social service
Db
Trying to do good
Eb
Some will say you just unnerve us
Db
Others say you should
Eb
Spend your time in work and trouble
Db
Worry with your friends
Eb
Until you're through with each idea
Db
Fraying at the ends
Eb
And when it's not enough
Db
Then you'll retreat and contemplate
Eb
The first thing you will
Db
hear is how you
Eb Db Eb
almost were too late.
