Tune to Marijuana

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

2.

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
