The spacing when I pasted this is off so the chord changes aren't by the words exactly.
I may fix it one day when I have time. I figured this out as I couldn't find any music
for it myself. Sound's pretty close to me. Small part at the end missing. Enjoy. I found
the lyrics on some lyrics site.
D D(v) Bm A x3
DOwsley and ChD(v)arlie, twins of the tBmrade, A
GCome to the Poet's Room A
DTalking aboutD(v) the problems of a leBmaf, A
G A
And yes, it'll be back soon
BmThere used to be tons of gold and green D A
C#mComin' up here from Mexico F#
GA donde esta la planta, mi amigo, del sol' F# G
ABut Mexico is under the thumbG
DOf a man we call Richard
And he'sA come to call himself king F#
GBut he's a small-headed man
And he doAesn't know a thing G
About how to deal for you D
How to deal for you Bm
EThere are millions of you now
DI mean it's not as if you were alone
EThere are brothers everywhere
DJust waiting for a toke on that gold
EAnd God knoEws how far it can goE E
CYou're famous Uncle Charlie
AFor your Mexican smoke
CYou're a legend Owsley
AFor your righteous dope
DThere were a half a million people on the lawn G
DAnd we sang to their faces in the dawn G
AmHow long will that young race G
AmWait for the jailer's time to end' G E
AmHow long will the Panther race G
AmWait for the iron bars to bend' G
EAnd no no no no no nobody waits
