The spacing when I pasted this is off so the chord changes aren't by the words exactly.
I may fix it one day when I have time. I figured this out as I couldn't find any music
for it myself. Sound's pretty close to me. Small part at the end missing. Enjoy. I found
the lyrics on some lyrics site.
D D(v) Bm A x3
D D(v) Bm A
Owsley and Charlie, twins of the trade,
G A
Come to the Poet's Room
D D(v) Bm A
Talking about the problems of a leaf,
G A
And yes, it'll be back soon
Bm D A
There used to be tons of gold and green
C#m F#
Comin' up here from Mexico
G F# G
A donde esta la planta, mi amigo, del sol?
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jefferson_airplane/mexico_crd.html ]
A G
But Mexico is under the thumb
D
Of a man we call Richard
A F#
And he's come to call himself king
G
But he's a small-headed man
A G
And he doesn't know a thing
D
About how to deal for you
Bm
How to deal for you
E
There are millions of you now
D
I mean it's not as if you were alone
E
There are brothers everywhere
D
Just waiting for a toke on that gold
E E E E
And God knows how far it can go
C
You're famous Uncle Charlie
A
For your Mexican smoke
C
You're a legend Owsley
A
For your righteous dope
D G
There were a half a million people on the lawn
D G
And we sang to their faces in the dawn
Am G
How long will that young race
Am G E
Wait for the jailer's time to end?
Am G
How long will the Panther race
Am G
Wait for the iron bars to bend?
E
And no no no no no nobody waits
