Words by Raccoon with Music
based on a version of “Waiting
For A Train” by Jimmie Rodgers
as recorded on Nature’s Cathedrals
The
chord progressions to this song are:
·
C, G, C, C7, F, C, F, C,
D7, G
·
C, G, C
C G C C7
All
around the water tank
F C
They
were smokin' that loco weed
F C
I
thought that shit was pretty damn good
D7 G
So
I stashed away some seeds
C G C
C7
I
threw them into my backyard
F C
They
shot up to the moon
G C
I
knew I was a rich man
D7 G
At
least I would be pretty soon
C G C
C7
I
went down to the corner
F C
Had
a pound or two on me
G C
But
I ended up in the old jailhouse
D7 G
With
a knife blade in my knee
C G C C7
I
went up in front of my jury
F C
To
give them some cock and bull
F C
They
said, “We’d lock you away for a long, long time
D7 G
But
the jailhouse is too damn full”
C G C C7
Now
that I am a free man
F C
I’ll
tell you what I’d like to do
F C
It’s
such a drag that they took my bag
D7 G C
Because
I’d like to sit and smoke it with you
C
Roll
a doobie oh
G
Roll
a doobie aye
C
Roll
a doobie
[How’s
that? That was a damn good performance if I didn’t have to say so myself]
