To match the key of the original recording,
tune your guitar down 1/4 step
([E] string will be between [E] and [Eb]).
The opening dialogue is set to a bass guitar
strumming some F notes.
[F] [F7] [Bb] [Bbm] [F] [C7] [F]
[F]
Oh, have you ever met that funny reefer man?
[F] [C7]
Have you ever met that funny reefer man?
[F] [F7]
If he says he swam to China,
[Bb] [Bbm]
And he'll sell you South Carolina,
[F] [C7] [F]
Then you know you're talkin' to that reefer man
[F]
Have you ever met that funny reefer man?
[F] [C7]
Have you ever met that funny reefer man?
[F] [F7]
If he says he walks the ocean,
[Bb] [Bbm]
Any time he takes the notion,
[F] [C7] [F]
Then you know you're talkin' to the reefer man
[F]
Have you ever met this funny reefer man?
[F] [C7]
Oh, baby baby baby reefer man
[F] [F7]
If he trades you dimes for nickles
[Bb] [Bbm]
And calls watermelons "pickles,"
[F] [C7] [F]
Then you know you're talkin' to that reefer man
[F]
Have you ever met the funny reefer man?
[F] [C7]
Have you ever met the funny reefer man?
[F] [F7]
If he takes a sudden mania,
[Bb] [Bbm]
Wants to give you Pennsylvania,
[F] [C7] [F]
Then you know you're talkin' to the reefer man
[F]
Have you ever met the funny reefer man?
[F] [C7]
Have you ever met the funny reefer man?
[F] [F7]
If he says Wall Street is panicked
[Bb] [Bbm]
Cause he won't sell the Atlantic,
[F] [C7] [F]
Then you know you're talkin' to that reefer man
