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 the Hemp Liberation (G)League with my (Am)boyfriend It was (Dm)true love, with a common cause And (G)besides that, he was a (C)Sagittarius (G)(Am) We used to (Dm)say that our love was like hemp rope Three (G)times as strong as the rope that you buy (Am)domestically And we would (Dm)bond in the face of oppression from big (G)business and (C)the deans But I know there was a (Dm)problem, every time the group would (G)meet Everyone would (Am)light up That made it (Dm)difficult to discuss glaucoma, (G)human rights Not to mention chemo(C)therapy (G)(Am) Well (Dm)sometimes, life gives us lessons (G)sent in ridiculous (Am)packaging And so I (Dm)found him in the arms of a Student (G)Against the Treacherous Use of (C)Fur And he gave no (Dm)apology He just turned to me, stoned (G)out to the edge of (Am)oblivion He didn't (Dm)pull up the sheets, and I think he even (G)smiled as he said to (C)me: (Spoken)"Well, I guess our dreams went up in smoke - heh, heh" And I said "No, our dreams went up . . in dreams . . . You stupid pothead." And (Dm)another thing, What kind of a name is (G)Students Against the Treacherous Use of (Am)Fur? Fur is (Dm)already 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 rising 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)Berkeley 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.
