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

       G
Once I almost saw him make his move

      Dm
Brave Indian who never changes his mood

     G
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

       G
Just a bein' without a care

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

      G
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

Occasionally, JB walks up the D string during the A chord:

Verse 3: Well, we got a party goin' on many spirits strong Ain't preacher just a happy to meet ya Half a bottle 'neath the bed keep our spirits fed My hat's off to you, to you and you And now our brave friends, too, dancing circles through the room And a broom and a radio and a twistin out a dos-e-do Brand new day, the whole world's goin' Whole room's goin' so Chorus: Just now, don't hesitate (hesitate) Oh, taste the morning break (morning break) Sweet, sweet, young honeycomb (honeycomb) On, now, now, now just like home (just like home) Bridge:

    D          A         G
Oh, just like, just like home

D            A          G
   Where the stray dogs go

D       A      G
Oh, oh, rest my bones

D         A             G           D
   Like a fresh skipped stone to it all

G     G     A     G     G    A
Still right here, still just here,

G     G    A                  D
Still just here, brave, brave friend
