Pot Head chords by Daniel Johnston

Chords with lyrics

Verse:

G minorGm        DmDm
Man you look like old man's eyes


    C majorC        FF
When I saw you in that room


  E minorEm      A minorAm
And now you're on tour


   C majorC           B minorBm BB
They booked you in the asylum

Verse:

 G minorGm    DmDm    C majorC     FF
You work so hard at being a buffoon


  E minorEm           A minorAm
And now you ain't got no incentive left


  C majorC         B minorBm  BB
You popped your own balloon


Chorus:

        C majorC   G+G
You wanted to be somebody


     FF    C majorC  BB
But you ain't nobody


        C majorC
You ain't got no body


       G+G
You're just a head


         C majorC  G+G
You're just a pothead

Bridge:

 A augmentedA
I heard one day they said you got so high


  D MajorD
You ate up a chicken head and it was still alive


 A augmentedA
I have some friends who swear you did so don't deny


 D MajorD
Some day you're gonna get so messed up


You'll eat the head off your kid

            A augmentedA
And won't you be sorry, pothead


Verse:

  G minorGm         DmDm
You brag to all your friends


      C majorC        FF
About the fun you had last night


  E minorEm       A minorAm     C majorC         B minorBm   BB
I wonder if you realise you forgot to brush your teeth


  G minorGm             DmDm
And then you'll come a-bummin'


 C majorC       FF
Asking for some money


   E minorEm       A minorAm
You even tried to roll the sacred pages


C majorC         B minorBm  BB
And you burnt your lip


Verse:

  G minorGm       DmDm
That lip is has a trench in it


 C majorC          FF
Where that wild weed sits


E minorEm       A minorAm
Sucking like a parasite


    C majorC          B minorBm   BB
Of any sense you might have left


Verse:

  G minorGm        DmDm
You say that you are happy


    C majorC       FF
And you like stormy weather


    E minorEm          A minorAm
Well I think that you're just dumb


   C majorC         B minorBm  BB
And you don't know any better


Verse:

   G minorGm         DmDm
You play your rock and roll guitar


        C majorC       FF
You say you're gonna be a big star


   E minorEm         A minorAm
But everyone in this neighborhood


 C majorC        B minorBm  BB
Knows just who you are


Verse:

  G minorGm          DmDm
No I ain't tryin' to be hard


     C majorC      FF
I don't mean to be cruel


      E minorEm               A minorAm
I'm just tryin' to say something that'll shock


          C majorC     BB
You into going back to school


           C majorC
Or maybe at least reality


   G+G
In this year


C majorC
Pothead


Outro:

       C majorC    G+G
You wanted to be somebody


     FF    C majorC
But you ain't nobody


BB        C majorC
You ain't got no body


        G+G
You're just a head

C majorC G+G
