2. Years of toil, Enduring lack. A good-investment Cadillac. Frozen processed food and drink. Pay a woman to clean the sink. Poison spray to kill the bugs. Two machines to clean the rugs. Why do the kids want to look like thugs? They don't know how to think!
3. Try to show how much I care. Pay my son to cut his hair. Don't let daughter be a mess. Purchase her a decent dress. Happy to help them live their life. Help my daughter to be a wife. Son doesn't want the honor of strife. Must be lazy I guess.
4. Boys learn sports and automobiles. Girls learn sewing and making meals. Women gossip and Men don't cry. No more labor when we die. Captialism! Democracy! Competition! The Brave and Free! Eveyone else better think like me, And he better not ask why!
5.
Work is hard but
play is fun.
Politics is
Washington.
Education is
in the school.
Churches teach
the Golden rule.
Court is order.
Cops are laws.
No one said they
don't have flaws.
But the came's back
holds plenty of
straws and
Eb F Gm
God will get the fool.
God will get the fool.
Eb F G
God will get the fool!

a tune to ride

In- side the studio

At last the flash of yellow

holding up the show

Until he flutters

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

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

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
5. [silent chorus]
C - Dm / C - Bb / C - Dm / C - Bb - C
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
