We can give each other…

1.
Well I'm on a roll
'n you been rockin'
Whattaya say we
Just quit talkin'
Strip off our clothes
And crawl into bed
And we can give each other
  Social diseases
  We're falling to pieces
  But we'll do what we pleases
  We're already doomed
2.
Whatever you've got
I've already caught
Athlete's foot
And the creeping rot
Syphilis herpes AIDS flu gonorrhea
Too much socializin' has given me
  Social diseases
  We're falling to pieces
  But we'll do what we pleases
  We're already doomed

I've been trying to think it all out.

Lead in with Witnessing, verse 1

1.

C                 Dm
Here's my tune to marijuana

C                 Bb
Here's my tune to pot

C                 Dm
If you don't like marijuana

  C             Bb          C
I hope you like what you've got


          Eb        Db           C
I've been trying to think it all out

          Eb     Db   C
I've been trying all along

       Eb       Db      C
When I weigh up all the factors

       C          Bb       C
Then I just can't say it's wrong

       Bb     Eb Db   C
Yes, I see it do some damage

          Bb      Eb Db  C
When it's grafted to the throng

           Bb     Eb   Db  C
But you've got to hear the potheads

          Bb         Eb       Bb
When they turn their minds to song

C                 Dm
Here's my tune to marijuana

C                 Bb
Here's my tune to hemp

C              Dm
If you tune to marijuna

    C            Bb     C
You might not be such a wemp


      Eb     Db          C
Was a time I thought I'd finished

  Eb            Db        C
I thought I had grown too old

    Eb     Db       C
The weed I had just made me cough

   C      Bb       C
My spirit fire was cold

        Bb        Eb  Db C
But the fault was not my habit

        Bb        Eb  Db   C
But the weed that I'd been sold

       Bb      Eb   Db  C
If you want to kick the habit

      Bb     Eb    Bb   Eb-Bb-Bdim
Don't buy Acupulco Gold

3.

C                 Dm
Here's my tune to marijuana

C                 Bb
Here's my tune to grass

C              Dm
If you tune to marijuana

    C            Bb      C
You might not be such an ass


    Eb    Db      C
I'm dirty hot and sweaty

     Eb         Db        C
I've worked all day in my yard

Eb       Db         C
Then I relax with a bowl of gold

  C      Bb        C
Until my lungs are charred

    Bb     Eb  Db C
And if someday my Lord should say

   Bb     Eb    Db C
My Spirit would be marred

        Bb    Eb  Db C
I would give away my pipes and pot

Bb            Eb      Bb    Eb-Bb-Eb-G
Sometimes his Will is hard.

G                 Am
Here's my tune to marijuana

G                 F
Here's my tune to boo

G              Am
If you tune to marijuana

    G     F        Am    G
Marijuana tunes to you


    Bb    Ab   G
Marijuana is a crutch they say

Bb          Ab        G
As they are crippling me

         Bb        Ab      G
But they can't see how I'm crippled

               G        F         G
'Cause they're crippled just like me

          F         Bb   Ab G
Those who need them have eyeglasses

         F         Bb   Ab  G
Likewise grass can help you see

       F          Bb  Ab G
Like a wheelchair for an invalid

F             Bb     F     Bb-f-Bb-Bdim
Pot sets your spirit free

          Eb        Db           C
I've been trying to think it all out

       Eb       Db      C
I keep thinking without end

      Eb         Db      C
If my thoughts require adjustment

       C     Bb     D
I'll depend upon my friend

        Bb       Eb  Db  C
When we weigh up all the factors

         Bb      Eb    Db  C
Weighing each as right and wrong

    Bb    Eb   Db C
Marijuana made it possible

     Bb       Eb         Bb    G
That I should write this song

G -Am  /  G - F  /  G  - Am  / G  -  F  -  Bb  - Bdim

But you could not follow the story.

1.

C                           Dm
You could be a witness to a crime

    C                          Dm
But you would not remember the time or the place

        Eb
And you wouldn't remember their faces

       Em                   Dm                    C
Or the color of the getaway truck 'cause you were stoned

(insert Tune to Marijuana here)

2.

C                           Dm
You could be a witness to a vision of God

C                       Dm
Angels would be singing all around your body

          Eb
They'd be singing their anthems of glory

        Em                   Dm                    C
But you could not follow the story 'cause you were stoned

These farmers ain't no fools.

1.

       G7
Farmer Jones and Farmer Smith / Like to perpetuate the myth

                                   Bb7            G7
They're out there growin' strictly legal on their land

           G7
But if you only knew the truth / They're simply catering to youth

                                Bb7             G7
You see they're businessmen and there's a big demand (for)

  Have another puff / If you had enuff

  Whydoncha pass that j to me

2.

       G7
Farmer Jones's day is done / Smith stops to watch the setting sun

                           Bb7              G7
They like to have a little fun like you and me

           G7
The reason they're not raisin' pork / Is 'cause the folks up in New York

                               Bb7             G7
Might pay as much as two point five for one oh-zee (of)


    C                                 C7
Marijuana (They're just in it for the profit)

Marijuana ('Though the cops'd like to off it)

    C                                 C7
Marijuana (Say, how long you had that cough?

                 D
  It smells like harsh ol' 'lumbo in this J

  Why don't you buy from the U S of A?)

[Opening strains of the national anthem in G]

To commune with the savior affects the behavior.

Made myself weak in the brain

The mind is a trinket

And all of ours hang on a  chain
