The Acid Song Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]
I had not [C]taken

[Verse 1]
acid for
twelve [G]years,[D]
But one night last sum[C]mer [G]I did.[D][G]
I was [C]adrift in a bar [G]room,[D]
Acting like a [C]jerk and a [G]kid.

[Verse 2]
[G]I k[C]new we were asking for [G]trouble,
[C]
Trouble was what we [D]would get.
[G]Five of [C]us dropped in the gir[G]ls' room,
[D][C]
Psycadilisized insane [G]quintet.

[Verse 3]
Well that bathroom [C]got crowded in [G]no time,
[D]Our minds were all blo[C]wn in one fla[G]sh,
[D][G]
Everyone [C]in there [D]got [G]ugly,[D]
We exited [C]out of there [G]fast.
[C]

[Verse 4]
Back in the bar we were [G]happy,
Feeling great, [C]no problem,
Back in the bar we [D]were fine.
[G]Till Johnny tur[C]ned into a N[G]azi,[D]
And Mary [C]threw up all her [G]wine.

[Verse 5]
[G]Well in no time [C]we all were ejected,
[G]Soo[D]n we were out on the[C] street[G].[D]
[G]The sidewalk [C]began to per[G]spire,
[D]We had glass and [C]dog shit at [G]our feet.

[Verse 6]
[C]We went over to Mary's
[G]apartment[C]
Come on!
To listen to the Grateful [D]Dead.[G]
On the [C]way there we lost [G]Johnny,
[D]He had opted for Bel
[C]levue in[G]stead.

[Verse 7]
[G]Well I'm really glad we did this,
it feels great. Just like the old days, I love this.
I know my hair's on fire,
it's like incense or something.
You know, your face is melting,
It is, it's all the colours
of the rainbow.
Hey you wanna hold some fruit? Come on, hold some fruit!
It breeds, it really does!

[Verse 8]
[G]Have
a cantaloupe, come on.
Ah, no I dunno where the Donovan tape is.
Well I had to get [C]out of that

[Verse 9]
[D]city,[G][D]
Bobby was bringing [C]me [G]down.[D][G]
Me [C]and my darling young [D]Susie,[G]
[D]Said so long an [C]d drove
[G]out of town.[C]

[Verse 10]
Driving on [C]acid [G]is [C]easy
Driving on acid's a [D]breeze.
[G]Just keep the[C] car on the highway[G]
[D]Don't laugh and don[C]'t fart
and don't [G]sneeze.
Oh we got to my [C]house in the country [G]In

[Verse 11]
the country man
[D]The trees were all[C] throbbing and[G] gre[D]en
[G]Susie [C]was sure she had [G]cancer
[D]I was sure I w[C]as James Dea[G]n
[C]We

[Verse 12]
went down the lake
to go [G]swimming
Come [C]on let's try it out
Down to the lake for [D]a swim
[G]Susie [C]said, "water cures cancer[G]"
[D]I asked her to please call me Jim[C].[G]

[Verse 13]
Yes acid is usually [G]dangerous
[D]The mild- mannered can[C]
quickly turn [G]mean[D]
[G]LSD [C]can surely derange [G]us
[D]Unless you pos[C]ses[G]s Thorazine

[Verse 14]
[C]So next time you wanna [D]go out [G]there
[C]When you feel like fitting
[D]your head
[G]Think twice [C]before dropping aci[G]d[D]
Hold out for mushrooms [G]instead!
