_ _ [G] _ [G#] _ _ [A] [Em] I'm a midnight [D] creeper, [C] all day sleeper.
[A] Been a long time since I seen [B] a lot of dick.
_ You folks might [D] think that's a [C] crying shame, [A] but I love to live [D] my life this way.
_ _ [Bm] [C] Yes, [B] yes, yes, [E] yes, [A] yes. _
_ [D] Oh [C] yeah!
_ [A] Yes, [C] _
[B] yes, yes, [E] yes, [A] yes. _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ [D#] Now, sometime I might take me a little [B] sniff of cocaine, _ [A] [C#m] but baby I'm just only trying [D] to ease the pain.
_ [A] You might catch [D#] me back in the alley behind [D] the garbage [F#] can, puffing on some old good weed, [A] but I'm just trying to [F#] fulfill my inner need.
[G#] _ [A] _ _
[C] Yes, [B] yes, [E] yes, [Am] yes, _
[A] yes.
[F#] _ _ _ [D] _ [A] _ _

_ _ [Am] _ Yes, yes, [A] yes, yes, yes.
Now don't get me [D] wrong, I [Am] ain't setting up [A] endorsements and all kinds of dope taking and such [D] carrying on.
Because [G] you know, [A] every, _ as a [D] man said in a song, every form of [A] refuge has its price.
_ [D] You got to [F#] pay the price for feeling [G#] nice.
[A] _ _
[Em] You know, [D] if you drink alcohol, you wake up with a [A] hangover. _
_ [D] If you do cocaine, _ _ [A] _
you're in danger [C] of running out.
[Am] _ _ [A] _
You take heroin, [D] _ _ [A] you're subject to OD. _
_ _ [D] _ _ If you [A] take Quaaludes, you're going to stumble [D] and knock up against the walls [F#] [A] and talk funny.
[Em] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [F#] _ _ [A] _
But if you smoke [F#] weed, well I had to quit smoking [A] weed and I'll tell you why.
It's two [D] things, you know, I read in the paper, [A] I know for a fact because I seen it in the paper,
[D] other day said if [A] you smoke too much weed you develop them [D] [Am] female hormone, [A] sexual, what do you call it, mammary glands.
You know, [D] you can make a [G#] bump on your [A] chest from smoking too much weed.
But [D] the main thing that's wrong with smoking too much weed [A] is it make you eat everything [D] in the house.
[A] You eventually end up big as a house.
I [D] know [Am] because somebody [A] give me one of those Thai sticks I went home the other day and [F#] I ate so much I [A] couldn't fit it in my brazier no more.
_ _ [D] _ Boy, that's just an awful thing.
[A] _ _
I think I'm [D] going to settle for a nice, comfortable [A] 50, 60 year OD on [D] Budweiser.
[Am] I'm going to settle.
You can [A] do what you want.

_ _ [Am] _ _ [A] A fella asked me the other day, he said, [C] Bishop are you a religious [Am] minded man?
[C#m] I said, hell yes, buddy, you know I'm most.
[G] Certainly am.
_ [D#] But I [Em] have my own faith and [Am] I follow it all the way.
You see, I religiously [Em] drink, you can check the packs of Budweiser I need to every day.
_ [C] Yes, yes, [E] yes, [Em] yes, yes, yes, [D] _
_ _ [A] _ _ [C] yes, [B] _ _
