Aka "The Reefer Song". Written by Stuff Smith, but this is the way Fats plays it,
to my ear. Please post any corrections, and feel free to email them to wrybread at
gmail dot you know what.
Sounds great on the uke too...
[G] [Em] [Am7] [D7]
Dreamed about a reefer 5 feet long
[G] [Em] [Am7] [D7]
The Mighty Mezz, but not too strong
[G] [G7] [C] [F9] or [Cm]
You'll be high but not for long
[G] [D] [G] [D7]
If you're a viper
[G] [Em] [Am7] [D7]
I am the king of everything
[G] [Em] [Am7] [D7]
I've got to be high before I swing
[G] [G7] [C] [F9] or [Cm]
Light a tea and let it be
[G] [D] [G] [D7]
If you're a viper
[G7]
When your throat gets dry, you know you're high
[C]
Everything is dandy
[A7]
Truck on down to the candy store
[D7]
Bust your conk on peppermint candy
[G] [Em] [Am7] [D7]
Then you know your body's spent
[G] [Em] [Am7] [D7]
You don’t care if you don’t pay rent
[G] [G7] [C] [F9] or [Cm]
The sky is high and so am I (aha!)
[G] [D] [G] [D7]
If you're a viper
