Bubble Gum Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Was [G]it bubblegum or bad karma?
A couple three bucks for a
can of snuff
was money poorly [D]spent
[C]Didn't see a girl or a [G]car around
so I threw it on the hot [D]cement
Well I parked [G]the car and I went to school
[C]an d I came back in haste
[G]There [C]was a big old wad
[G]of bubblegum
[D]that was sittin' in [G]it s place
When [C]the sticky side of the
yin [G]an d yang
[D]on my shoes cramps my style
[G]Some [C]jokers chomping [G]on a
big leek chew
with a big [A]fat Buddha smile
[D]Count[G]ing out my chains from the I Ching,
I [C]can't help but hold [G]a grudge
[C]Was it bubble gum [G]or bad karma,
[D]let my guru be the judge
[Em]Was it bubble [C]gum [G]or bad karma,
[D]let my guru be [G]the judge[D][G]
Well, my foot got stuck when I hit the gas
[C]and I swerved and [G]missed a skunk
An[C]d I ran into [G]a busloads
full of ten Tibetan [D]monks
Well, [G]the bus was wrecked,
nobody got hurt,
[C]but they cussed me [G]really loud
Said, I guess [C]this was [G]the first time
that [D]y 'all broke your silence
[G]vow[Gm][Em][D][G]
Said, please don't call [D]the cops,
man,
[C]and I offered them some wine
[G]We [C]played Chinese checkers[G]
and they beat me every [D]time
Well, they stole [G]the car,
they grabbed the wine,
[C]they said you were bound [G]to lose
An[C]d I got left on the side of
[D]the road
with a bubblegum on my shoes
[G]An [C]d the sticky side [G]of the
yin and yang
[D]On my shoes cramps [Em]my style
Some [C]jokers chomping [G]on a
big leek chew
[Em]With a big fat Buddha smile
[D]Count[G]ing out my change from the I Ching
I [C]can't help but hold [G]a grudge
Is [C]it bubblegum [G]or bad karma
[D]Let my guru be [Em]the judge
Is [C]it bubblegum [G]or bad karma
[D]Let my guru be [G]the judge[D][G]
Well, I limped [D]my way
[G]back into [D]town
And the blues came [G]down on me
[C]Couldn't get back to my
[Bm]humble home
because the [G]monks they took [D]my keys
And I sat [G]down on the doormat
and [C]I hung my head and wept
[G]And [C]I spent the night [G]trying to
meditate out [D]on my front porch [G]steps
[D]I think Ho C[G]hi Minh's got herpes,
man, [C]but Confucius was really cool
[G]Bubblegum makes you stutter,
snuff just makes [D]you drool
Well, I might [G]come back
as a Dalai Lama,
[C]I might come back as [G]a clown
But [C]I hope that things go [G]better
in my next time [D]around
[G]When the sticky sid[C]e
[G]of the yin and yang
[D]on my shoes cramps my style
[G]Some [C]joker's chomping [G]on a
big leek chew
with a big [A]fat Buddha smile
[D]Count[G]ing out my change from the I Ching,
I [C]can't help but hold a grudge
[G]Is [C]it bubble gum [G]or bad karma,
[D]let my guru be the judge
[Em]Is it bubble g[C]um o[G]r bad karma,
[D]let my guru be [G]the judge[D][G]
Might come back as a Dalai Lama,
might not [C]come back [D]at all
[G]I c[C]ome back as a[G] holy cow
[D]grazing in Nepal [G]or
I might come back as an outlaw
rick[C]shaw driver [D]named Omar.
[C]I want to be picking [G]the Hindu blues
[D]with Ravi Shankar
[G]and the sticky [C]side [G]of the yin and yang
[D]on my shoes cramps [Em]my style.
[C]Some jokers chomping on a
big [G]leek chew
with a big [A]fat Buddha [D]smile.
I'm counting out [G]my change from the I Ching
I [C]can't help but hold
[G]a grudge.
[C]Is it bubblegum [G]or bad
[D]Is [Em]it bubble g[C]um or bad
[G]caramel?
[D]Let my guru be [G]the judge.[D]
