[Intro]
C
 
 
[Verse]
     C                                          F          C
Well me and the boys, we was playin' a show down Colorado way
 
And when we realized they had legalized
         D7                  G
Well we thought we'd investigate
 
           F
Cuz there ain't nuthin' better than a little adventure
         C        Em     Am
Just to shore up band morale
    D    N.C.
At least till the singer does a few too many milligrams
    G                      G
Of mis-adventurin' somehow
 
 
[Verse]
         C
We were met with a kid, born for his job
        F                 C
Highly skilled and desirable
                                           D7             G
Who up till now the world had found to be totally unhireable
 
             F
He knew the strengths and the names
                                 C       E     Am
Every hybrid strain that modern science has allowed
             D                     N.C.
He said you don't have to toke it, you don't even gotta smoke it
          G   N.C.                 G
Cuz they make it for ya edible now
 
 
[Chorus]
             C
I want that old familiar drunken feelin'
Em
  Washing over me this evening
F                                C     G
I wanna be embraced like an old friend
 
C
 Heart is racin', mind is reelin'
    Em
That  old familiar drunken feelin'
F                 G                 C
 Something I can count on till the end
 
 
[Verse]
G           C
 It's only noon, I'll be fine, showtime ain't till nine
   F                   C
I chewed and I told myself
 
But as the day wore on and on and on
        D7              G
It all went rapidly to hell
 
            F
Well I was high as a kite and it was freezin' outside
       C            G/B    Am
I was terrified of people, too
         D7
Between shiverin' in the van and hidin' in the can
           G                      G
Cuz there wasn't any dressing room
 
 
[Verse]
 C                                            F            C
Playin' a gig was the very last thing that I wanted on my mind
                                                 D7           G
The best advice that I got all night's when old Skinner did opine
 
         F
He said don't try to fight it, yeah, you're just gonna have to try
    C             G/B    Am
To ride the rank bastard out
 
          D7  N.C.
So, with that bit of wisdom and herbal terrorism
    G   N.C.               G
On stage I was freakin' out
 
 
[Chorus]
             C
I want that old familiar drunken feelin'
Em
  Washing over me this evening
F                                C     G
I wanna be embraced like an old friend
 
C
 Heart is racin', mind is reelin'
    Em
That  old familiar drunken feelin'
F                 G                 C
 Something I can count on till the end
 
 
[Verse]
   C
I steeled myself I said, 'what the hell?'
        F                        C
And proceeded to forget all the lines
 
It was endless and seemed like a fever dream
         D7            G
Western hats and neon signs
 
          F
So, in a desperate position
 
Made the desperate decision
          C               G/B   Am
That I'd handle this the cowboy way
 
             D7  N.C.
Which is to pour enough whiskey on the problem
                    G   N.C.            G
Till it catches on fire or it goes away
 
 
[Verse]
    C
To shot after shot, just like I was taught
              F               C
Supressed my feelings by all means
 
It was a mess I guess, but nonetheless
        D7                  G
A mess fairly well known to me
 
              F
So, when the second set came
                                  C        G/B  Am
I was back on my game and here's what I'd recommend
 
        D7   N.C.
If you think you're gonna die
 
Cuz you're way too freakin' high
      G    N.C.
Just drown it all in Pendleton
 
 
[Chorus]
G            C
I want that old familiar drunken feelin'
Em
  Washing over me this evening
F                                 C     G
 I wanna be embraced like an old friend
 
C
 Heart is racin', mind is reelin'
    Em
That  old familiar drunken feelin'
F                 G                 C   G C
 Something I can count on till the end
