Daniel Johnston - Pot Head

      Pothead - Daniel Johnston

[Verse]
Gm                Dm
Man you look like old man's eyes
       C               F
When I saw you in that room
    Em            Am
And now you're on tour
     C                     Bm  B
They booked you in the asylum

[Verse]
  Gm       Dm       C          F
You work so hard at being a buffoon
    Em                     Am
And now you ain't got no incentive left
    C                 Bm    B
You popped your own balloon

[Chorus]
               C      G
You wanted to be somebody
         F        C   B
But you ain't nobody
                C
You ain't got no body
              G
You're just a head
                 C    G
You're just a pothead

[Bridge]
  A
I heard one day they said you got so high
    D
You ate up a chicken head and it was still alive
  A
I have some friends who swear you did so don't deny
  D
Some day you're gonna get so messed up

You'll eat the head off your kid
                        A
And won't you be sorry, pothead

[Verse]
    Gm                 Dm
You brag to all your friends
           C               F
About the fun you had last night
    Em             Am          C                 Bm     B
I wonder if you realise you forgot to brush your teeth
    Gm                         Dm
And then you'll come a-bummin'
  C              F
Asking for some money
     Em              Am
You even tried to roll the sacred pages
C                  Bm    B
And you burnt your lip

[Verse]
    Gm              Dm
That lip is has a trench in it
 C                   F
Where that wild weed sits
Em              Am
Sucking like a parasite
       C                    Bm     B
Of any sense you might have left

[Verse]
    Gm                Dm
You say that you are happy
        C             F
And you like stormy weather
        Em                    Am
Well I think that you're just dumb
     C                  Bm    B
And you don't know any better

[Verse]
     Gm                 Dm
You play your rock and roll guitar
                C              F
You say you're gonna be a big star
      Em                 Am
But everyone in this neighborhood
  C                Bm    B
Knows just who you are

[Verse]
   Gm                    Dm
No I ain't tryin' to be hard
         C            F
I don't mean to be cruel
           Em                             Am
I'm just tryin' to say something that'll shock
                   C         B
You into going back to school
                      C
Or maybe at least reality
      G
In this year
C
Pothead

[Outro]
              C       G
You wanted to be somebody
         F       C
But you ain't nobody
B               C
You ain't got no body
               G
You're just a head
C G
