C
Stop and think for a minute
'Bout this Land of the
Brave and Free
Two hundred years is short
But it's a great democracy
F
They founded a republic
Fm
Built it solidly to last
C
Maybe it's gotten big 'n' slow
But if you look to
the recent past
G
Just like a little baby
F
We've got all that it takes
C
Just like growin' up
We've had to
learn from our mistakes
an' I get those
G
Red 'n' White Blues when they
F C
keep puttin' my country down
2.
C
Now we don't have Richard Nixon
To kick us around no more
And we made a special effort
To end up Viet Nam's war
F
And we just quit helpin' Mexico
Fm
to paraquat the grass
C
So Khomeni can take his beads an'
shove 'em up...
(let's not be crass)
G
I know we've still got problems
F
And perhaps they've just begun
C
But at least we've learned
that freedom doesn't
come out of a gun
an' I get those
G
Red 'n' White Blues when they
F C
keep puttin' my country down
Mindful Webworks / Radical Incline / Red 'n' White Blues, page 2

C
I can't defend the stupid things
Like a country of our size
Still being too proud and too narrow-minded
To simply apologize
F
We can't even run our own place
Fm
'cause we're so busy splitting hairs
C
If we'd mind our own damn business
We would not be minding theirs
G
But the way that we've been treated
F
Is stickin' in my craw
C
Khomeni wouldn't be around
if we'd really
been helping the Shah
an' I get those
G
Red 'n' White Blues 'cause they
F C
keep puttin' my country down
4.
C
Some folks don't trust the Black man
And some folks fear the Gay
Some folks don't like Disco
But they trust the C.I.A.
F
I'm not pointin' any fingers or
Fm
Tryin' to tell you how to be
C
It's a great big blessed country
And there's room for you and me
G
And besides the earth is nuclear now
F
Not like it was before
C
This could be the final chapter
one more war
will end all war
and end my...
G
Red 'n' White Blues 'cause we
F C
wouldn't have no country around....

With a marching beat
1.
E
Whatcha gonna do about it,
Whatcha gonna do,
When the army of America
D
is comin' after you?
D
Whatcha gonna do about it,
Whatcha gonna say,
When people from the draft board
E
try to send you far away?
2.
E
Whatcha gonna think about it,
How you gonna feel,
When they argue that your draft
D
resistance simply isn't real?
D
Whatcha gonna do about it,
Where you gonna go,
If Canada won't take you
E
and the prisons overflow?
3.
E
Wouldja fight in Israel
Or go defend Iran,
Or some supposed vital interest
D
in Afghanistan?
D
Deadly germs and killer gas
And anti-matter ray,
Giant solar microwaves
E
and mutant DNA...
4.
E
We can fire lazer beams
And drop a neutron bomb,
All the weapons that we didn't
D
have for Viet Nam.
D
Each war they say is diff'rent
But the people die the same.
Next time they give a war
they'll say that
C B E
everybody came!

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
2.
F C
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
