[INTRO: ]C#m B A E
E
Lightnin' bugs buzzin' 'round the piss elm tree
A
I'm a hundred miles from reality
B
I take a big drag and suck it all in
E
Blow it out the window let it ride on the wind
E
I see indigo wheels of purple and blue
A
People on TV look like me and you
B
There's spiders on the ceilin' and buzzards on the wall
E
If I could find the telephone I'd give you a call
CHORUS:
E
Smokin' in bed
A
Smokin' in bed
B
It's bad for my body and good for my head
(E)
I like to lay around the house and smoke in bed

SOLO: E A B A B7
E
Have any ya'll ever seen a matress burn
A
While listenin' to the Byrds singin' Turn Turn Turn
B
I've seen it happen I'm livin' proof
E
If you don't believe me look at the hole in my roof
E
Now I can lay here and look out at the sky
A
At fuzzy black dragons as they fly by
B
I think it's time to roll me a big ol' fatty
E
Find me a phone and call miss Paisley Patty
CHORUS (2x)
