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

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)
C C7
Marijuana (Got to hide it from the cops)
G G7
Marijuana (Let's hope neither of them stops)
C C7
Marijuana (Growin' green 'n' golden tops)
D
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)
G G7
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]
(Adjust the line about the cash price according to current markets.)

Cm Db F Cm
I'm an old dope cleaner
Bb-Dm-Bb F
I'm a pot-seed gleaner
F Eb F
I'm a reader between the lines
Cm Db F Cm
...I smoke a little dope
Bb F
Apply a little hope
F Eb Db C
I can see what people have in their minds
2.
Cm Db F Cm
Hyp-no-tized you could say, why,
Bb Dm Bb F
Or may-be a way I have
F Eb F
Made myself weak in the brain
Cm Db F Cm
...I see why you think it
Bb F
The mind is a trinket
F Eb Db C
And all of ours hang on a chain
3.
Cm Db F Cm
....The only true answer's
Bb-Dm-Bb F
the in-ter-nal dancer
F Eb F
whose actions will cut through your mask
Cm Db F Cm
To com-mune with the savior

Af-fects the be-havior
F Eb Db C
So one knows the questions to ask

... You're not any higher
Bb Dm Bb F
For all your de - sire

So as long as you stay

In the world find your way
F Eb Db C
to the waters where mind can re - fresh
5.
Cm Db F Cm
I'm an old love-drinker
Bb Dm Bb F
Some-times I'm a stinker
F Eb F
But that doesn't mean I don't try

Bb Dm Bb Dm F
These few words -- how odd
F Eb Db C
But that's how the living get by
F Eb Db C
How completely they satisfy

No, they did not want to shoot up

Not one even wanted a drink

And sometimes a law can just stink.
