Pothead - Daniel Johnston [Verse]
Gm                Dm
Man you look like old man's eyes

       C               F
When I saw you in that room

    Em            Am
And now you're on tour

     C                     Bm  B
They booked you in the asylum
[Verse]
  Gm       Dm       C          F
You work so hard at being a buffoon

    Em                     Am
And now you ain't got no incentive left

    C                 Bm    B
You popped your own balloon
[Chorus]
               C      G
You wanted to be somebody

         F        C   B
But you ain't nobody

                C
You ain't got no body

              G
You're just a head

                 C    G
You're just a pothead
[Bridge]
  A
I heard one day they said you got so high

    D
You ate up a chicken head and it was still alive

  A
I have some friends who swear you did so don't deny

  D
Some day you're gonna get so messed up
You'll eat the head off your kid
                        A
And won't you be sorry, pothead
[Verse]
    Gm                 Dm
You brag to all your friends

           C               F
About the fun you had last night

    Em             Am          C                 Bm     B
I wonder if you realise you forgot to brush your teeth

    Gm                         Dm
And then you'll come a-bummin'

  C              F
Asking for some money

     Em              Am
You even tried to roll the sacred pages

C                  Bm    B
And you burnt your lip
[Verse]
    Gm              Dm
That lip is has a trench in it

 C                   F
Where that wild weed sits

Em              Am
Sucking like a parasite

       C                    Bm     B
Of any sense you might have left
[Verse]
    Gm                Dm
You say that you are happy

        C             F
And you like stormy weather

        Em                    Am
Well I think that you're just dumb

     C                  Bm    B
And you don't know any better
[Verse]
     Gm                 Dm
You play your rock and roll guitar

                C              F
You say you're gonna be a big star

      Em                 Am
But everyone in this neighborhood

  C                Bm    B
Knows just who you are
[Verse]
   Gm                    Dm
No I ain't tryin' to be hard

         C            F
I don't mean to be cruel

           Em                             Am
I'm just tryin' to say something that'll shock

                   C         B
You into going back to school

                      C
Or maybe at least reality

      G
In this year

C
Pothead
[Outro]
              C       G
You wanted to be somebody

         F       C
But you ain't nobody

B               C
You ain't got no body

               G
You're just a head
C G
