Originally from Stoner Witch, 1994

Lyrics

Maybe once and maybe came away

I took a quarter of your wishes, fed them all aside

The weaker of the fortunes mystery hasn't yet all appeared to me

But then I never wanted more than three


Chased know any reason, flames are all I see

Reality's been forsaken maybe stirin all on a lee


So it seems and so it's came away

Might be the voicings frighten and so it's gotten me

The weaker of the fortune's mystery has finally pissed indee

Indeed, made it for the Eve


Chased know any reason, flames are all I see

Reality's been forsaken maybe stirin all on a lee

Now they're gonna burn me, make all my flesh away

Real green turnin half ball shaken

Leave me for a day


Tablature

(4/4)

Begin by building feedback in the key of E.
