Intro: Dm G Am
Dm
I'm not a leader
G C
I'm not a left-wing rhetoric mobilizing force of one
Dm
But there was a time way back
G C
Many years ago in college, don't laugh
Dm
But I thought I was a radical
G Am
I ran a Hemp Liberation group with my boyfriend
Dm
It was true love
G C G Am
With a common cause, and besides that, he was a Sagittarius
Dm
We used to say that our love was like hemp rope
G Am
Three times as strong as the rope that you find domestically
Dm
And we would bond in the face
G C
Of oppression from big business and the deans
Dm
But I knew there was a problem
G Am
Every time the group would meet, everyone would light up
Dm
Made it difficult
G C G Am
To discuss glaucoma and human rights, not to mention chemotherapy
Instrumental: (Godawful discordant racket)
Dm
Well sometimes
G Am
Life gives us lessons sent in ridiculous packaging
Dm G C
So I found him in the arms of a Student Against The Treacherous Use Of Fur
Dm
And he gave no apology
G Am
He just turned to me, stoned out to the edge of oblivion
Dm G C
He didn't pull up the sheets and I think he even smiled as he said to me,
N.C.
"Well, I guess our dreams went up in smoke, uh huh huh"
And I said, "No, our dreams went up in dreams, you stupid pothead"
Dm
And another thing,
G Am
"What kind of a name is Students Against the Treacherous Use of Fur?
Dm
Fur is already dead
G C G Am
And besides, a name like that doesn't make a good acronym"
Dm
I am older now
G Am
I know the rise and gradual fall of a daily victory
Dm
And I still write to my senators
G C
Saying they should legalize cannabis, and I should know
Dm
'Cause I am a horticulturist
G Am
I have a husband and two children out in Lexington, Mass.
Dm G
And my ex-boyfriend can't tell me I've sold out
C G
Because he's in a cult
C G C
And he's not allowed to talk to me
