¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
A E
Well once upon a time in 1776,
D A
Thomas Jefferson signed his name on a piece of marijuana,
E D
and this document was a symbol of freedom and of liberty,
at least for the rich, white gentry.
A
As time marched along,
E D
this plant that I refer to has been used for everything,
A
from medicine to the American flag.
Yeah, so, if you don’t buy the conspiracy,
E
just look at the reality
D
that your tax dollars go
A
to spray poison on the fields of a farmer in South America.
And as an added bonus,
E D
your neighbor might be the proud recipions of that poison weed.
Oh marijuana
now the government wants to test me when I pee.
Oh marijuana
a gift of god to my brothers and me.
Oh marijuana
you cant legislate your own morality.
Oh marijuana
the government wants to test me when I pee

NOW STRUM THE ABOVE CHORD FOR THE FOLLOWING PART
Reefer madness, chronic sadness,
what is the half-life of bad propaganda?
Policies fail, denied bail,
you made him a demon now pay for his trip to prison.
Hired to promote the status quo,
but what is the shelf life of bad legislation.
The hypocrite smirks, it’s a moral disgrace
as he reads from a law that was written
about the same time that he had
his last original thought.
A
Well the men said he was dying,
E D
and the nausea and the pain left him wasting away
A
and unable to keep a meal down.
E
So he tried everything a prescription could obtain
D
but to no avail.
A
The side effects were worse than the pain.
So now he breaks the law
E D
to use the one thing that seems to help him out.
A
And the people say, Oh he's just getting high.
E
But not to change the subject but,
D
didn’t you ever wonder why getting’ high’s a crime,
yeah a crime.
Oh marijuana, a gift to god to my brothers and me.
Oh marijuana, now the government wants to test me when I pee.
Oh marijuana, the government wants to test me when I pee.
Oh marijuana, the government wants to test me when I pee.
Oh marijuana, the government wants to test me when I pee.
Oh marijuana, this is the part when everyone would sing along aha,when I pee
