You'll aDlways have smokes
If you always give buckets of lGove
Like litDtle sad Tad who was living
On beetles and grGubs
He had a blue-eyed meBmrle
and loved an Indian gDirl
Lived alEmone in the warm wet fields
In this corner of the woDrld
You'll aDlways eat bread
If you always have seeds to sGow
LIke oDld Zen Ben who lived
With a murder of crGows
He wore a crown of bBmeans
And a belt of weDeds
Slept alEmone in the warm wet fields
On a bed of mustard sDeed
guitar solo
You wDon't lose the beat if you just keep
Clapping your haGnds
Like swDeet sweet Pete who clapped
for the Ruminant BGand
He had a broken lBmung
And a bit-off tonDgue
Lived alEmone in the warm wet fields
Under moon and the sDun
Under moon and the sDun!

Chords in this song · guitar

You'll always have smokes

If you always give buckets of love

Like little sad Tad who was living

On beetles and grubs

He had a blue-eyed merle

and loved an Indian girl

Lived alone in the warm wet fields

In this corner of the world

You'll always eat bread

If you always have seeds to sow

LIke old Zen Ben who lived

With a murder of crows

He wore a crown of beans

And a belt of weeds

Slept alone in the warm wet fields

On a bed of mustard seed

guitar solo

You won't lose the beat if you just keep

Clapping your hands

Like sweet sweet Pete who clapped

for the Ruminant Band

He had a broken lung

And a bit-off tongue

Lived alone in the warm wet fields

Under moon and the sun

Under moon and the sun!
