( that’s just the basic thing what i hear – but i play it differently ,
i think he improvised a lot so feel free to play it as you want . )

Am Am/G
well i wake up in the morning
Am/F E
look at my clock
Am Am/G
it’s way past noon time
Am/F E
now i’m late for work .

F
tell me , tell me
E
what have i done wrong?
( intro ) Am Am/G F E improvise!!!
ain’t nothing go right with me
must be i’ve been smoking too long .

verses :

well i go to find me some breakfast
but i ain’t got no food
take me a shower
but the water don’t feel no good .

i’ve got opium in my chimney
no other life to choose
nightmare made of hash dreams .
got the devil in my shoes

well when i’m smoking
put my worries on a shelf
don’t think about nothin’
try not to see myself .

well in this blues i’m singin’
there’s a lesson to be learned
don’t go around smokin’
unless you want to get burned .
