F
There's a butterfly
C
in the studio
Em D
Bright yellow
F
How he got inside
C
nobody knows
Em
But he's looking
D
for the sun
Em
But he's looking
D C
for the sun

Em (C Em)
The man on the drums
D C D
Tries to move his arms
Em (C Em)
As fast as the flutter
D
Of the wings of the
C
butterfly
3.
C Em
The lead guitarist, she's

working on the words
C Em
She wants to make them work
D
with the melody

And the clarinet
Bb C D
Practicing during a break
Eb D
Gives the butterfly
Eb D
a tune to ride
Eb D C Am
In- side the studio

At last the flash of yellow

Settles on a volume knob
Em D
holding up the show
Em
Until he flutters
D C
on

And sometime during the song

No one notices when

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
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
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

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

Farmer Jones and Farmer Smith / Like to perpetuate the myth
