(That's just the basic thing I hear - but I play it differently,
I think he improvised a lot so feel free to play it as you want.)

Am             Am/G     
Well I wake up in the morning

Am/F          E
Look at my clock

Am             Am/G
It's way past noon time

Am/F          E
Now I'm late for work.

F
Tell me, tell me

E
What have I done wrong?

(intro) Am  Am/G  F  E       IMPROVISE!!!
Ain't nothing go right with me

Must be I've been smoking too long. [Verses] Well I go to find me some breakfast But I ain't got no food Take me a shower But the water don't feel no good. I've got opium in my chimney No other life to choose Nightmare made of hash dreams. Got the devil in my shoes Well when I'm smoking Put my worries on a shelf Don't think about nothin' Try not to see myself. Well in this blues I'm singin' There's a lesson to be learned Don't go around smokin' Unless you want to get burned.
