The Fugs
I Couldn't Get High

This is exactly the chords The Fugs use on the studio version, but not exactly the best
progression. If you are annoyed with what they're playing then add an E MajorE chord in the
chorus during the "Whoa oh/Oh no!" part.

Intro:
A minorAm  D MajorD

A minorAm  D MajorD

A minorAm     D MajorD
I went to a party

     A minorAm  D MajorD
just the other night

A minorAm     D MajorD    A minorAm    D MajorD
I wanted to feel my brain was light

D MajorD
I grabbed myself a bottle

D MajorD
and I started drinking wine

E MajorE
I thought pretty soon, I'd be feeling fine....

   A minorAm      D MajorD   A minorAm D MajorD
But I couldn't get high! Oh, No!

 A minorAm     D MajorD  A minorAm D MajorD
Don't know why, Oh, No!

   A minorAm       D MajorD
So I threw down the bottle

  A minorAm       D MajorD
and whipped out my pipe

   A minorAm         D MajorD
and I stuffed it full of grass

   A minorAm      D MajorD
and I gave myself a light

D MajorD
I huffed, I puffed

D MajorD
I smoked and I toked

  E MajorE
but after awhile, my heart was nearly broke.....

    A minorAm      D MajorD   A minorAm D MajorD
cause I couldn't get high, Oh, No!

A minorAm     D MajorD  A minorAm D MajorD
Don't know why, Oh, No!

A minorAm D MajorD A minorAm D MajorD
(Guitar solo)

   A minorAm       D MajorD
So I threw down the pipe

  A minorAm       D MajorD
as mad as I could be

  A minorAm      D MajorD    A minorAm D MajorD
and gobbled up a tube of LSD

 D MajorD
I waited thirty minuets

 D MajorD
for my body to sing

E MajorE
I waited and I waited

E MajorE
but couldn't get a thing

A minorAm          D MajorD   A minorAm D MajorD
cause I couldn't get high, Oh, no!

A minorAm      D MajorD  A minorAm D MajorD
Couldn't get high whoa oh!

A minorAm       D MajorD   A minorAm D MajorD
I couldn't get high, whoa oh!

A minorAm     D MajorD  A minorAm D MajorD
Don't know why, oh no!
