INTRO: [Dm] [G] [Am]

I'm not a [Dm]leader
I'm not a left-wing rhetoric [G]mobilizing force of [C]one
But there was a [Dm]time way back
Many years ago in [G]college, don't [C]laugh
But I thought I was a [Dm]radical
I ran a Hemp Liberation [G]group with my [Am]boyfriend
It was [Dm]true love
With a common cause, and be[G]sides that, he was a Sagit[C]tarius [G] [Am]

We used to [Dm]say that our love was like hemp rope
Three [G]times as strong as the rope that you find do[Am]mestically
And we would [Dm]bond in the face
Of oppression from big [G]business and the [C]deans
But I knew there was a [Dm]problem
Every time the group would [G]meet, everyone would [Am]light up
Made it [Dm]difficult
To discuss glaucoma and [G]human rights, not to mention chemo[C]therapy [G] [Am]

INSTRUMENTAL: (Godawful discordant racket)

Well [Dm]sometimes
Life gives us lessons [G]sent in ridiculous [Am]packaging
So I [Dm]found him in the arms of a Student A[G]gainst The Treacherous Use Of [C]Fur
And he gave no a[Dm]pology
He just turned to me, stoned [G]out to the edge of o[Am]blivion
He didn't [Dm]pull up the sheets and I think he even [G]smiled as he said to [C]me,
N.C.
"Well, I guess our dreams went up in smoke, uh huh huh"

And I said, "No, our dreams went up in dreams, you stupid pothead"
And a[Dm]nother thing,
"What kind of a name is [G]Students Against the Treacherous Use of [Am]Fur?
Fur is a[Dm]lready dead
And besides, a name like [G]that doesn't make a good [C]acronym" [G] [Am]

I am [Dm]older now
I know the rise and gradual [G]fall of a daily [Am]victory
And I still [Dm]write to my senators
Saying they should legalize [G]cannabis, and I should [C]know
'Cause I am a horti[Dm]culturist
I have a husband and two [G]children out in [Am]Lexington, Mass.
And my [Dm]ex-boyfriend can't tell me I've sold[G] out
Because he's in a [C]cult [G]
And he's not allowed to [C]talk to me [G] [C]
