Been Smokin Too Long

Been Smokin' Too Long

This is a cool blues finger picking 
style. I hope I've got the timing 
about right,
but the only way you'll really pick 
it up is by listening to the record.
I've only tabbed out the intro 
because it's the only bit I can play
 accurately,
but I've included the chords for the
 verses, and you just play them in 
the same sort of style.
There are only really three 
different chords: Am, F, E, and some
 twiddly bits on top of those.

Standard Tuning, Capo 2nd fret.

INTRO:-

    Am      (Amsus2)  Am         
            trill

                  Am             
Well I wake up in the morning
Am/G      Am/F

           E        Am
Look at my clock
              Am/G      Am/F
It's way past noon time
                 E
Now I'm late for work

[Chorus:-]

F
Tell me tell me
E                Am
What have I done wrong?
                 Am/G
Ain't nothin' go right with me
F                 E           Am
Must be I've been smokin' too 
      Am/G    Am/F
long.

[little solo on E, E7 (bend up)]

Well I go to find me some breakfast
But I ain't got no food
Take me a shower
But the water don't feel no good

[Chorus]

I've got opium in my chimney
No other life to choose
Nightmare made of hash dreams
Got the devil in my shoes

[Chorus]

Well when I'm smokin'
Put my worries on a shelf
Don't think about nothin'
Try not to see myself

[Chorus]

Well in this blues I'm singin'
There's a lesson to be learnt
Don't go around smokin'
Unless you want to get burnt

Tell me tell me
What have I done wrong?
Ain't nothin' go right with me
Must be I've been smokin' too
Ain't nothin' go right with me
Must be I've been smokin' too
Ain't nothin' go right with me
Must be I've been smokin' too long.
