_ I'm [Eb] going to bring up my buddy from Chicago, Mr.
Boyd from Chicago,
actually from San Francisco.
[E] _
Mr.
Nick, Boyd from Chicago, Gravenitis, Mr.
[E] Greene.
I'm _ _ _ _ [A] going to play you what he wrote.

Yeah, _ _ _ yeah. _
_ _ _ _ _ This is a poem I wrote back in 1970
when my good friend Janet Joplin,
_ _ she was recording an album down in L.A.
And she called me up in San Francisco and she said,
Nick, write me a song for my album.
_ _ I said, of course.
_ I had something in my mind and I flew down to L.A.
working out in the rehearsal studio,
taught the band the song, taught Janet the song,
went to work Friday and I went back home.
_ _ And I was told, lately,
_ _ that they recorded the song, the band put the tracks down,
_ and Janet was going to come in the next day
and do the vocals.
She died in a night,
never made it for that song.
_ _ They were on the last album as an instrumental,
_ _ interrupted,
_ it was called Buried Alive in the Blooms. _ _ _
_ _ All caught up on the [E] land for that night.
_ [D] Oh, bad [A] luck took the man from all his life.
_ Got fucked up in [E] my youth. _
_ _ [D] _ Buried [A] alive in the blooms.
_ _ It's Sunday morning, [E] everybody's in bed.
_ [A] I'm on the street talking out of my head.
_ There's something wrong [E] with her,
girl, you see.
_ [A] _ Buried alive in the blooms.
Buried [D] alive.
_ _ _ [E] _
[A] Buried alive in the blooms. _ _ _
_ Buried [D] alive.
_ _ [E] _
[A] Buried alive in the blooms. _ _ _
I was at your mercy.
_ [E] I prayed for a ring.
_ [Am] I refused [A] to be the one who had stepped on the blame.
_ So pray, girl, [E] don't lose my brain.
[A] _ Buried alive in the blooms.
Now all you can throw at me,
[E] the one little girl that you [A] could not make me laugh,
the one who could not make me cry,
well, it ain't no use,
[E] because you know [A] _ _ I'm buried alive.
_ Buried [D] alive.
_ [E] _
_ _ [A] Buried alive in the blooms. _ _
_ Buried _ [D] alive _ [E] _
_ _ [A] in the blooms. _ _

_ _ _ All caught up [E] in the rooms for that [A] night.
Oh, bad luck took the man from all his life.
_ I got caught off of [E] my easy walk.
_ [D] I'm very [A] alive in the blues.
_ Now I won't be fooled.
_ [B] You can walk on by, [D] but not make me [A] laugh, but not make me cry.
Well, there ain't no [B] use _ in a [D] lie.
_ [A] _ _ _
_ I'm [D] very alive, very [E]
alive [A] in my blues. _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [A] I'm _ _ _ _ very alive in the bad condition.
_ Very alive in this worsening jail.
_ Very alive in the sad situation.
_ _ Very alive, cause there ain't no pain.
_ Very alive to try to make love to someone.
_ _ I'm very alive, there's no better girl for you.
And if you hear the rocket scream, watch it pop your lung.
_ Cause I'm no funny hillbilly, I'm just a little lion.
_ You can't make love in _ _ lies. _
