The spacing when I pasted this is off so the chord changes aren't by the words exactly.
I may fix it one day when I have time. I figured this out as I couldn't find any music
for it myself. Sound's pretty close to me. Small part at the end missing. Enjoy. I found
the lyrics on some lyrics site.
D D(v) Bm A x3
D D(v) Bm A
Owsley and Charlie, twins of the trade,
GA
Come to the Poet's Room
D D(v) Bm A
Talking about the problems of a leaf,
GA
And yes, it'll be back soon
BmA
There used to be tons of gold and green
C#mF#
Comin' up here from Mexico
GG#
A donde esta la planta, mi amigo, del sol?
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jefferson_airplane/mexico_crd.html )
AG
But Mexico is under the thumb
D
Of a man we call Richard
AF#
And he's come to call himself king
G
But he's a small-headed man
AG
And he doesn't know a thing
D
About how to deal for you
Bm
How to deal for you
E
There are millions of you now
D
I mean it's not as if you were alone
E
There are brothers everywhere
D
Just waiting for a toke on that gold
EEE
And God knows how far it can go
C
You're famous Uncle Charlie
A
For your Mexican smoke
C
You're a legend Owsley
A
For your righteous dope
DG
There were a half a million people on the lawn
DG
And we sang to their faces in the dawn
AmG
How long will that young race
AmE
Wait for the jailer's time to end?
AmG
How long will the Panther race
AmG
Wait for the iron bars to bend?
E
And no no no no no nobody waits
