I Couldn't Get High chords by The Fugs

Guitar chords with lyrics

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 chord in the
chorus during the "Whoa oh/Oh no!" part.

Intro:
Am   D

Am   D

Am          D
I went to a party

         Am    D
just the other night

Am          D       Am        D
I wanted to feel my brain was light

D
I grabbed myself a bottle

D
and I started drinking wine

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

      Am           D     Am  D
But I couldn't get high! Oh, No!

  Am         D    Am  D
Don't know why, Oh, No!

     Am             D
So I threw down the bottle

    Am             D
and whipped out my pipe

      Am                 D
and I stuffed it full of grass

      Am            D
and I gave myself a light

D
I huffed, I puffed

D
I smoked and I toked

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

        Am           D     Am  D
cause I couldn't get high, Oh, No!

Am         D    Am  D
Don't know why, Oh, No!

Am  D  Am  D
(Guitar solo)

     Am             D
So I threw down the pipe

   Am             D
as mad as I could be

    Am           D       Am  D
and gobbled up a tube of LSD

  D
I waited thirty minuets

 D
for my body to sing

E
I waited and I waited

E
but couldn't get a thing

Am                   D     Am  D
cause I couldn't get high, Oh, no!

Am           D    Am  D
Couldn't get high whoa oh!

Am             D     Am  D
I couldn't get high, whoa oh!

Am         D    Am D
Don't know why, oh no!
