Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon (2007) [Verse 1]
G
Well these days I'm spread so thin

                      Bm                       D
It’s like I'm getting carried up by the wind

                   Am
Every time you get high

          G               D
You might see me floating by

     G           Em
Well so long old bean

                  Bm
it's been a dream being with you

 D                  Am
I couldn't tell us apart

         G                  D
oh and I know neither could you
[Chorus]
G           Am D
Don't tread on me

         G
When you float downstream

     Am  D
on a moonbeam

G        D  G
So long old bean

G       D   G
So long old bean
[Verse 2]
G
Here comes the Mapinguari singing awww

Bm                              D
when's there gonna be an end to wondering

Am              G                  D
when all of our troubles are gonna end

G
'cause we've had our fill

               Bm
of finding our empty pockets emptier still

          Am                   G
and there probably won't be an end to that

   D
my friends

G
Now that my tralala's are dating

Bm
little sips of the Hollywood bowl

                Am
they mute up my mind

                    G
how kind of them to mellow mellow mellow

      D
my soul

      G
well they're the gambling kind

               Bm
as smooth as a tuba's ass on the dole

                  Am
money never beats soul

    G D
how noble
[Chorus]
G        Am  D
Don't forget me

         G
When you float downstream

     Am  D
on a moonbeam

G       D   G
So long old bean

G       D   G
So long old bean
[Outro]
G               Am7
I'm a little firefly

D    Am7     G
landing on you
