The New Riders of the Purple Sage - Henry - 12/31/1977 - Winterland (Official) chords
Start Jamming...
[A] Well, you only get [G] stuck with a hundred dollar fine for having an ounce, but you still can't grow it in your backyard, goodness gracious sakes.
Now this fella, I know, he wanted to be a [B] farmer.
He'd rather [C] not have been a smuggler at [E] any time at all, though, you see.
So this song is just to remind us to get out there and change [D] all them stupid, idiotic, silly [G] laws, man.
Dumb stuff.
I mean, this is ridiculous.
I mean, [N] goodness gracious, this song is still dedicated to all of us in the audience that [G] still have to smuggle anything.

Nothing round for love or [F] money, that'll [B] get you high.
[C] Henry got pissed off and [G] said he'd run to Mexico and see if he could come back [F] for the twenty [G] keys of gold.
[D] Now the road to [A] Acapulco's very [G] hard and deep, and it isn't any better [C] if you haven't any weight.
Henry starts driving [G] straight on twisty mountain roads, fifty feet from waiting back at home for Henry's lot.
[B] Now [D] he's rolling down the mountain, [C] going fast, [Bm] fast, fast.
[D] If he blows it, this is [F] gonna be [G] his last.
Runs too wild to pull the [C] car to turn the [G] golden keys.
[C] Henry, [G] keep your back some for this corner if you please.

He's talking with the man who has [C] grown from the ground.
