Dm G Note: While the G chord is being strummed, you can do some hammer-ons to jazz it up a little bit. F - A (x2) [Verse 1]
    Dm
Oh, Pappy left a chair like he's still sittin' there

       Gm
Once I almost saw him make his move

      Dm
Brave Indian who never changes his mood

     Gm
In a painting on the wall right there
[Chorus]
    F                         A
Oh, how long 'til the morning wakes

    F                          A
Oh, how long 'til the medicine takes
[Verse 2]
    Dm
Oh, Sally buffalo in the apartment just below

       Gm
Just a bein' without a care

    Dm
Oh, children from my brood they come and bring me food

      Gm
Maybe open up a window for air
[Chorus]
    F                              A
Oh, just now I smell the cornbread bake

    F                                 A
Oh, now, now, now I feel the medicine take

My hat's off to you, to you and you

Brand new day, the whole world's goin'

Gm
Whole room's goin' so

Sweet, sweet, young honeycomb (honeycomb)

On, now, now, now just like home (just like home)

Oh, oh, rest my bones
