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
Bridge lead in notes:
G-F#-E
A A7
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
C
Pothead
