Verse: 

A 
I was sitting in my basement  
I just rolled myself a taste of something 
E                                                 A 
green and gold and glorious to get me through the day. 
Then my friend yelled through the transom,  
"grab your coat and get your hat son 
          E                                           A 
There's a nut down on the corner, givin' dollar bills away." 
      E 
But I sat around a bit and then 
E 
Had another hit and then 
E 
Rolled myself a bauma 
E 
Thought about my mama 
E 
Looked around 
E 
Fooled around 
E 
Played around a while and then 
   

      A 
I got stoned and I missed it 
      A 
I got stoned and I missed it 
      E                              A 
I got stoooooned and it rolled right by 
      A 
I got stoned and I missed it 
      A 
I got stoned and I missed it 
      E                   A 
I got stoooooned oh me oh my 
    
Verse: 

A 
Now it took seven months of urging just to get that local virgin 
         E                                          A 
With the sweet face up to my place to fool around a bit. 
Next day she woke up rosy and she snuggled up so cozy 
         A                                          E 
When she asked me how I liked it Lord it hurt me to admit 
   

      A 
I was stoned and I missed it 
      A 
I was stoned and I missed it 
      E                              A 
I was stoooooned and it rolled right by 
      A 
I was stoned and I missed it 
      A 
I was stoned and I missed it 
      E                   A 
I was stoooooned oh me oh my

Verse: 

A 
Now I ain't makin' no excuses for the many things I uses 
        E                                           A 
Just to brighten my relationships and sweeten up my day. 
But when my earthly race is over and I'm ready for the clover 
         E                                                A 
And they ask me how my life has been I guess I'll have to say.
