Pothead
(zack26)
Oh, how I love this song…
For the B7/D#
chord try X-6-4-4-4-5 or just use B7
Sliding up
to this D7 sounds nice X-0-7-7-7-8

Man
you look like old man’s eyes
When I saw you in that room
And
now you’re on tour
They booked you in the asylum
You work
so hard at being a buffoon
And now you ain’t got no incentive
left
You popped your own balloon
Chorus:
C
G
You wanted to be somebody
F C
But
you ain’t nobody
B7
C
You ain’t got no body
G
You’re just a head
C
G
You’re just a pothead

I heard one
day they said you got so high
D
D7
You ate up a chicken
head and it was still alive
A
A7
I have some friends who swear you did so don’t deny
D
Some day you’re gonna get so messed up
You’ll eat the
head off your kid
A
And won’t you
be sorry, pothead…
(verse chords)
You brag to all your
friends
About the fun you had last night
I wonder if you
realize you forgot to brush your teeth
And then you’ll come
a-bummin’
Asking for some money
You even tried to roll the
sacred pages
And you burnt your lip
That lip is has a
trench in it
Where that wild weed sits
Sucking like a
parasite
Of any sense you might have left
You say that you
are happy
And you like stormy weather
Well I think that you’re
just dumb
And you don’t know any better
You play your
rock and roll guitar
You say you’re gonna be a big star
But
everyone in this neighborhood
Knows just who you are
Gm
Dm
No
I ain’t tryin’ to be hard
C
F
I don’t mean to be cruel
Em
Am
I’m just tryin’ to say something
that’ll shock…
C
Bm
You into going back…
to school
B/D#
C
Or maybe at least reality
G
In this year
