Alan Hull - Drug Song
[Intro]
G D G7 Em Ebmaj7 G D G7 Em Ebmaj7 G
[Verse 1]
D G7 Em
I rolled a joint - and crushed it on the floor
Am G C Am G C D D7 G
Woe is me, I'll never roll a joint - no more
[Interlude]
G D Dm Em Ebmaj7 G
[Verse 2]
D G7 Em
I took some speed - and ran 'round in circles
Am G C Am G C D D7 G
A thousand miles, a thousand miles or maybe - even more
[Interlude]
G D Dm Em Ebmaj7 G
[Verse 3]
D G7 Em
I took a trip - to find me a better self
Am G C Am G C D D7 G
But I only found, I'd merely lost all - common sense
[Interlude]
G D Dm Em Ebmaj7 G
[Verse 4]
D G7 Em
Marijuana - why do you want me
Am G C Am G C D D7 G
Constantly, very close indeed - to me
[Interlude]
G D Dm Em Ebmaj7 G
[Verse 5]
D G7 Em
If you drive me mad - you'll make mother very sad
Am G C Am G C
She'll maybe even cry, she'll maybe shed a tear
Am G C D D7 G
When she sees my coffin go gli------ding by
