Dar Williams - The Pointless, Yet Poignant, Crisis Of A augmentedA Co-Ed


INTRO: DmDm  G+G  A minorAm

     DmDm
I'm not a leader
               G+G          C majorC
I'm not a left-wing rhetoric mobilizing force of one
        DmDm
But there was a time way back
         G+G       C majorC
Many years ago in college, don't laugh
           DmDm
But I thought I was a radical
            G+G       A minorAm
I ran a Hemp Liberation group with my boyfriend
    DmDm
It was true love
              G+G             C majorC    G+G A minorAm
With a common cause, and besides that, he was a Sagittarius

      DmDm
We used to say that our love was like hemp rope
   G+G                      A minorAm
Three times as strong as the rope that you find domestically
       DmDm
And we would bond in the face
            G+G        C majorC
Of oppression from big business and the deans
            DmDm
But I knew there was a problem
              G+G          A minorAm
Every time the group would meet, everyone would light up
    DmDm
Made it difficult
            G+G                 C majorC    G+G A minorAm
To discuss glaucoma and human rights, not to mention chemotherapy


INSTRUMENTAL: (Godawful discordant racket)


   DmDm
Well sometimes
           G+G         A minorAm
Life gives us lessons sent in ridiculous packaging
   DmDm                 G+G               C majorC
So I found him in the arms of a Student Against The Treacherous Use Of Fur
        DmDm
And he gave no apology
               G+G          A minorAm
He just turned to me, stoned out to the edge of oblivion
     DmDm                   G+G          C majorC
He didn't pull up the sheets and I think he even smiled as he said to me,
N.C.
"Well, I guess our dreams went up in smoke, uh huh huh"

And I said, "No, our dreams went up in dreams, you stupid pothead"
   DmDm
And another thing,
            G+G                    A minorAm
"What kind of a name is Students Against the Treacherous Use of Fur?
    DmDm
Fur is already dead
             G+G            C majorC     G+G A minorAm
And besides, a name like that doesn't make a good acronym"


   DmDm
I am older now
              G+G        A minorAm
I know the rise and gradual fall of a daily victory
      DmDm
And I still write to my senators
              G+G           C majorC
Saying they should legalize cannabis, and I should know
          DmDm
'Cause I am a horticulturist
             G+G        A minorAm
I have a husband and two children out in Lexington, Mass.
    DmDm                 G+G
And my ex-boyfriend can't tell me I've sold out
         C majorC   G+G
Because he's in a cult
            C majorC      G+G  C majorC
And he's not allowed to talk to me
