A
Oh we plant, we plant, we plant the seed
            E
And then we grow, grow, grow the weed
       A
And we pull the weed and we sell the greens
   E
We trade some off for kerosene

That's coal juice boy

[Verse 2]
         Dm
When you grow the weed

You gotta hide it away
Am
Young drunk punks will steal it today
     Dm
If it ain't them punks it's the authorities
Am
Pullin' my weed and steppin' on my
        Em
Peeeeeeeaaaaasssssss

[Verse 3]
      A
So we plant the seed early in the spring
  E
Fertilize with anything
       A
And we haul the water if the rain don't fall
      E
We pray that the Lord will make a call

On us

[Verse 4]
   Dm
It's against the law and we know, we know
Am
You ain't shit, oh ho ho
       Dm
But in nature's law we know, we know
Am                         Em
It is written, grow, grow, grow

[Verse 5]
         A
In the fields of Kentucky it's the poor man's high
         E
In the streets of DC it's a rich fool's buy
      A
Now I know it's good herb for you and I
           E
You know I wrote this song while I was high

On weed

[Verse 6]
       Dm
If you puff the weed you're nothin' but a slave
Am
Oh my Lord, it's the weed I crave
         Dm
Like the snake charmers school and the charm school for snakes
   Am                                                                  Em
A bunch of torpid vipers was a layin' round shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit faced
