Aka "The Reefer Song". Written by Stuff Smith, but this is the way Fats plays it, 
to my ear. Please post any corrections, and feel free to email them to wrybread at 
gmail dot you know what.

Sounds great on the uke too...

G               Em     Am7    D7
Dreamed about a reefer 5 feet long 
G               Em     Am7    D7
Mighty immense, but not too strong 
G         G7       C       F9 or Cm
You'll be high but not for long 
G  D        G      D7
If you're a viper

G               Em     Am7    D7
I am the king of everything 
G               Em     Am7    D7
I've got to be high before i sing 
G       G7      C      F9 or Cm
Light a tea and let it be 
G  D        G      D7
If you're a viper 

G7
When your throat gets dry, you know you're high 
C
Everything is dandy 
A7
Truck on down to the candy store 
D7
Get your kicks with some peppermint candy 

G               Em     Am7    D7
Then you know your body's spent 
G               Em     Am7    D7
You don’t care if you don’t pay rent 
G          G7       C     F9 or Cm
The sky is high and so am I (aha!)
G  D        G      D7
