poor jeremiah ,
G F
his body is broken ,
A F G
lying in the alley where he fell .
A F
his head is racing home ,
G F
to the hill of california ,
A G A
poor jeremiah weed .
A F
he’s got his friends ,
G F
he’s got his devices ,
A F G
he got no need for you .
A F
no need for sympathy ,
G F
no need for surprises ,
A G A
poor jeremiah weed .
A E G D
well i know , when it comes to those ,
A E D
the paint he laid down never fade ,
E G D
i hope jeremiah knows ,
G D
that’s the way it goes ,
G D E
the son will find no shame upon him

* * and so on * * – – chords are still the same

poor jeremiah ,
seven pockets stuffed with empty
people walking everywhere ,
but no one says a word .
he’s tried killing time ,
but it won’t sit still ,
poor jeremiah weed .

well i know , when it comes to those ,
the paint he laid down never fade ,
i hope jeremiah knows ,
that’s the way it goes ,
the son will find no shame upon him .

poor jeremiah
all hail the holy roller
a winner in the city
make you think you’re in hell
it’s hard to believe
he was laughing at you
poor jeremiah weed
oh , poor jeremiah weed .
oh poor jeremiah weed .

poor jeremiah , poor jeremiah , poor jeremiah weed
poor jeremiah , poor jeremiah , poor jeremiah weed
poor jeremiah , poor jeremiah , poor jeremiah weed
( fades )
