Doobie Yodel #13

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]
