Chords

The spacing when I pasted this is off so the chord changes aren't by the words exactly. I may fix it one day when I have time. I figured this out as I couldn't find any music for it myself. Sound's pretty close to me. Small part at the end missing. Enjoy. I found the lyrics on some lyrics site. D D (v) Bm A x3
D            D (v)                Bm            A
Owsley and Charlie, twins of the trade,

G                                   A
Come to the Poet's Room

D            D (v)                Bm            A
Talking about the problems of a leaf,
G A And yes, it'll be back soon
Bm                                         D             A
There used to be tons of gold and green

C#m                                 F#
Comin' up here from Mexico

G                                          F#               G
A donde esta la planta, mi amigo, del sol?

A                            G
But Mexico is under the thumb

D
Of a man we call Richard

        A                                 F#
And he's come to call himself king

G
But he's a small-headed man

         A                                       G
And he doesn't know a thing

                                        D
About how to deal for you

                     Bm
How to deal for you

E
There are millions of you now

D
I mean it's not as if you were alone

E
There are brothers everywhere

D
Just waiting for a toke on that gold

E          E                   E           E
And God knows how far it can go

C
You're famous Uncle Charlie

A
For your Mexican smoke

C
You're a legend Owsley

A
For your righteous dope

D                                                                               G
There were a half a million people on the lawn

D                                                                   G
And we sang to their faces in the dawn

Am                                  G
How long will that young race

Am                                  G            E
Wait for the jailer's time to end?

Am                                    G
How long will the Panther race

Am                                    G
Wait for the iron bars to bend?

E
And no no no no no nobody waits
