A
I was sitting in my basement, I just rolled myself a taste 
             E                                                 A
of something green and gold and glorious to get me through the day
        A
Then my friend yelled through the transom, "Grab your coat and get  your hat son
          E                                            A
There's a nut down on the corner, givin' dollar bills away"
      E 
But I sat around a bit then I had another hit
       E
Then I rolled myself a bauma, tThen I thought about my mama.
       E
Then I fooled around, played around, played around a while and then


Chorus:
      A 
I got stoned and I missed it. I got stoned and I missed it.
      E                          A
I got stoned and it rolled right by.
      A
I got stoned and I missed it. I got stoned and I missed it.
      E
I got stoned, oh me oh my.


It took seven months of urgin' just to get that local virgin
With the sweet face up to my place to fool around a bit
Next day she woke up rosy aAnd she snuggled up so cozy
When she asked me how I liked it, Lord, it hurts me to admit

Chorus

Fiddle solo

I'm makin' no excuses for the many things I uses
Just to sweeten up my relationships and brighten up my day
When my earthly race is over and I'm ready for the clover
And they ask me how my life has been, I guess I'll have to say

Chorus
