Biografía:
The Fugs es una banda formada en la ciudad de Nueva York a finales de 1964 por los poetas Ed Sanders y Tuli Kupferberg, junto con Ken Weaver, en la batería.
La banda fue nombrada por Kupferberg a raiz de un eufemismo para la palabra 'joder' en inglés, utilizada en la novela 'Los desnudos y los muertos' de Norman Mailer.

The Fugs
I Couldn't Get High
This is exactly the chords The Fugs use on the studio version, but not exactly the best
progression. If you are annoyed with what they're playing then add an E chord in the
chorus during the "Whoa oh/Oh no!" part.
Intro:
Am D
Am D
Am D
I went to a party
Am D
just the other night
Am D Am D
I wanted to feel my brain was light
D
I grabbed myself a bottle
D
and I started drinking wine
E
I thought pretty soon, I'd be feeling fine....
Am D Am D
But I couldn't get high! Oh, No!
Am D Am D
Don't know why, Oh, No!
Am D
So I threw down the bottle
Am D
and whipped out my pipe
Am D
and I stuffed it full of grass
Am D
and I gave myself a light
D
I huffed, I puffed
D
I smoked and I toked
E
but after awhile, my heart was nearly broke.....
Am D Am D
cause I couldn't get high, Oh, No!
Am D Am D
Don't know why, Oh, No!
Am D Am D
(Guitar solo)
Am D
So I threw down the pipe
Am D
as mad as I could be
Am D Am D
and gobbled up a tube of LSD
D
I waited thirty minuets
D
for my body to sing
E
I waited and I waited
E
but couldn't get a thing
Am D Am D
cause I couldn't get high, Oh, no!
Am D Am D
Couldn't get high whoa oh!
Am D Am D
I couldn't get high, whoa oh!
Am D Am D
Don't know why, oh no!
