C
Back Home My Friend I have often been
F                      C
Searching both far and near
C
Hoping day to day some might come my way
G                   F        C
But in vain as it's just not here

C
Now I understand out in Amsterdam
C                                 F
All these smokers they're roaming free
F                            C
So I left the States and the herb debates
G        F                 C
So that for myself I could see...

C              F    G F C

[Verse 1]
C
At the smoking venue I looked at the menu
C                      G
To see what was on display
G
I knew quite fast I would have a blast
G                            C
Just sampling would take all day
C
So feeling cool I pulled of a stool
C                  F
For I had money to spare
F                        C
At a third past four she opened the drawer
G                     C
To show me all of the wares

[Verse 2]
C
A Euro joint is a hashish roll
C                                     G
But they have a way to make it like a cone
G
Did you know that it saves the soul
G                                      C
When that techno-crap is what sets the tone
C
Don't be hasty, enjoy the taste
C                           F
In the absence of stems and seeds
F                 C
Soon I found that this is the town
G                                 C
And that here they have the best weed

[Chorus]
C                    F
Smokey Dokey and you get so mokey that
G            F          C
You can't remember your name
C          F       G F C

[Verse 3]
C
They had Merry Crystal, and Wonder Gold
C                               G
Jack Herer and Victory were also sold
G
White Widow, Bubble Gum and Power P
G                        C
Northern Lights and New ICC
C
Caramel and Cashmere, Super Pollen, Red Hair
C                         F
Orange Blood and Super Skunk
F                        C
Blackbeard's Bounty even Humboldt County
G                        C
Of these one toke is enough

[Verse 4]
C
They had Santa Maria and Manali Cream
C              G
K2, Sheeba and G-13
G
Blue Berry, Purple Mary, Silver Haze
G                                C
All of these will leave you in a daze
C
If the red eyeballs you would like to slay
C                           F
This is cause for the Black Bombay
F                                 C
Buddha's Sister like a mighty twister
G                       C
Will leave you in disarray

[Chorus]
C                    F
Smokey Dokey and you get so mokey that
G            F          C
You can't remember your name
C          F       G F C

[Verse 5]
C
Hash joint, weed joint or smoking in a bowl
C                             G
Pack it up high with Acapulco Gold
G
Or you can use a fancy water pipe
G                                   C
Smoke all day you're gonna get real tight
C
Up from bed for some Panama Red
C                        F
It's good for a wake and bake
F                                  C
But if your lungs are choking from all night of smoking
G                     C
You can eat the space cake (I ate it)

[Verse 6]
C
Gazing out from the coffee shops
C                                                G
There were people they smoking right in front of cops
G
And drinking coffee and writing songs
G                               C
Take another hit from the fancy bong
C
Everything a good viper needs
C                              F
So again the menu you read and read
F                             C
Take time to play with a girl paid to lay
C            G                    C
And then you have more coffee and weed

[Chorus]
C                    F
Smokey Dokey and you get so mokey that
G            F          C
You can't remember your name
C          F       G F C

[Verse 7]
C
Finally the time had come to me
C                         G
To head on back to my own country
G
But what would I do if I still had some
G                                C
There must be a way that I could take it home
C
The customs people had their eyes on me
C                                 F
But I walked right through with a grin
F                                   C
For I brought back some hash in the crack of my ass
G                          C
That I could share with my friends

[Outro]
C                    F
Smokey Dokey and you get so mokey that
G            F          C
You can't remember your name
C          F       G F C
