Well once upon a time in 1776,
         D                                     A    
Thomas Jefferson signed his name on a piece of marijuana,
                           E                     D            
and this document was a symbol of freedom and of liberty,

at least for the rich, white gentry.
A
As time marched along,
    E                                D
this plant that I refer to has been used for everything,
                             A
from medicine to the American flag.
 
Yeah, so, if you don’t buy the conspiracy,
     E
just look at the reality
           D
that your tax dollars go
                                                   A
to spray poison on the fields of a farmer in South America.

And as an added bonus,
        E                                           D
your neighbor might be the proud recipions of that poison weed.


Oh marijuana

Oh marijuana
a gift of god to my brothers and me.
Oh marijuana

Oh marijuana

NOW STRUM THE ABOVE CHORD FOR THE FOLLOWING PART 
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/d/david-peel/127996.html ]
Reefer madness, chronic sadness,
what is the half-life of bad propaganda?
Policies fail, denied bail,
you made him a demon now pay for his trip to prison.
Hired to promote the status quo,
but what is the shelf life of bad legislation.
The hypocrite smirks, it’s a moral disgrace
as he reads from a law that was written
about the same time that he had
his last original thought.


A
Well the men said he was dying,
           E                           D
and the nausea and the pain left him wasting away
                              A
and unable to keep a meal down.
                                 E
So he tried everything a prescription could obtain
        D
but to no avail.
                                       A
The side effects were worse than the pain.

So now he breaks the law
    E                             D   
to use the one thing that seems to help him out.
                                        A
And the people say, Oh he's just getting high.
                                     E
But not to change the subject but,
                           D                  
didn’t you ever wonder why getting’ high’s a crime,

yeah a crime.

Oh marijuana, a gift to god to my brothers and me.
Oh marijuana, now the government wants to test me when I pee.
Oh marijuana, the government wants to test me when I pee.
Oh marijuana, the government wants to test me when I pee.
Oh marijuana, the government wants to test me when I pee.
Oh marijuana, this is the part when everyone would sing along aha,when I pee
