E A B E
Sister got bit by a copperhead snake in the woods behind the house
E A B E
And nobody was home so I grabbed her foot and I sucked that poison out
A
Sister got better in a month or two when the swelling it went down
E A B E
But I started off my teenage years with a poison in my mouth
Chorus:
A E A E
And we were too young to be hippies missed out on love
A E E B A
Return to our teen in the late seventies in a summer of the drugs
E A B E
Mommy and Daddy could never understand that life was never cold
E A B E
Their idea of a rollicking town was a kitchen tap appall
A
Acid, grass, downs and speed, junked us days were made of
E A B E
How could they suspect those kids where the monsters eat their makers
Chorus:
A E A E
And they were too young to be hippies missed out on love
A E
We learned from the teens of the late seventies in a
E B E
Summer of the drugs

Mommies and Daddies are too shy to talk about those birds and bees
E A B E
Integrated schools had stopped, facts of life please
A
Girls and boys went away came back, empty after weekend
E A B E
The talk on the phone consisted of a hush, voices speaking
Chorus:
A E A E
And they were too young to be hippies missed out on love

Return to our teen in the late seventies in a summer of the drugs

Oh the Sun Maid
Looking for the shade
Though they say she’s not too bright,
She takes care of all the light.
Without you it’s cold and stark.
We would all be in the dark
CHORUS
Without the Sun Maid
She never gets paid
Searching for the shade
Uh oh The Sun Maid
(Dissonant strings, play chords like the intro)
You are so taken for granted
With each and every seed that’s planted.
And the earth is so demanding.
All the young girls are out tanning.
CHORUS
With the Sun Maid
She’s such an old maid
She never gets laid
Oh the Sun Maid
Now you’re tired, your day is over.
Now the moon is one day older.
Chorus riff 2X without words
