Well… Yet another tab from the stoner. Tabbing is easy!
I figured this one out just a minute ago, by accident. It’s easy.
Just 3 chords. I’m not sure of the names of these chords. I taught myself
to play, and I never bothered to learn the correct names. I’ll guess, though,
to give you something to go by.
A F# E open

Here’s the chord progression and lyrics. Pretty fucked up song, if you ask me.
I’ve just made up this system, It seems easier. I’ll write the chord name, then
above it I’ll write how many times to strum that particular chord. Hard to expain
but.. Fuck it, if you haven’t gotten the point by now….
The guitar is silent through the verses. It sort of sounds like there’s a
guitar in there somewhere, but I think it’s the bass. Ah, fuck it.
Here goes.
2 4 1 7
Intro : A, F#, open (repeat 3x), Em —Play twice
Mom I’m dyin’….. I’m dizzy, and fryin’….
3 3 7 (keep this same pattern for the chorus)
A F# Em
My throat hurts…. I think I should stay in bed…
A F# Em
‘Cause I got some kind of disease
A F# Em
And there are no remedies
A F# Em
Think I should stay in bed today
A F# Em
Maybe tomorrow go out and play
It’s Saturday
With Ginseng… And fresh squeezed juice….
Of wheat-grass…. Oh, and some hot chicken soup….
That just might…. Keep me alive a couple days…
But I’ve got some kind of disease
And there are no remedies
Think I’ll join Timothy Leary
In a cryogenic freeze
Next Saturday
Yeah, I’ve got some kind of disease
And there are no remedies
Shoulda listened when you said beware
Of horny girls with New Jersey hair
Last Saturday…
