THE PUSHER
Words and music by Hoyt Axton
This is a relatively simple song. Listen to the track to get the right rhythm. I find it
easiest when learning a new song to find and follow a pattern that I'm comfortable with.
When I've got the hang of singing and playing, I can add the nuances. I play it in bar
chords to keep the pattern and allow me to think of the other stuff I need to do. So,
here is The Pusher played in a standard "blues box." Let someone with more skill offer
up the chops and lead work.
[Intro] is G.C.Dm.C...(x6)
Vocals come in at the end of the progression, emphasis on (G) "smoked..."
Turn-around follows the same cadence with a new progression... C.F.Gm.F.
[Verse 1]
...C G C Dm
You know I've smoked a lot of grass
...C G C Dm C
O' Lord, I've popped a lot of pills
G C Dm C
But I never touched nothin'
... G C Dm C
That my spirit could feel
C F
You know, I've seen a lot of people walkin' 'round
Gm F C F.Gm.F...
With tombstones in their eyes
G C Dm
But the pusher don't care
...C G C Dm C
Ah, if you live or if you die
[Chorus]
G.C.Dm.C... G.C.Dm.C...
God damn, The Pusher
(same chords)
God damn, I say The Pusher
... G C Dm C G(downstroke) C(d-s) Dm (d-s)
I said God damn, God damn The Pusher man
I submitted this previously(by accident), before it was complete. I've asked for it to
be removed. If that doesn't happen, sorry for the duplicate.
