A
I was sitting in my basement.
.......... D
I just rolled myself a taste
........................ A
Of something green and gold and glorious
..... E7
To get me through the day.
................. A
Then my friend yelled through the transom
................... D
"Grab your coat and get your hat son,
................ E7
There's a nut down on the corner,
............................... A
Givin' dollar bills away"

But I laid around a bit

Then I had another hit.
............ D
Then I rolled myself a bauma.

Then I thought about my mama.
............ E7
Then I fooled around, played around

Jacked around a while and then

.......... A
I got stoned and I missed it.
.......... D
I got stoned and I missed it.
.......... E7.............. A
I got stoned and it rolled right by.

I got stoned and I missed it.
........... D
I got stoned and I missed it.
......... E7............................ A
I got stoned... oh me... oh my.

It took seven months of urgin'
Just to get that local virgin
With the sweet face up to my place
To fool around a bit.
Next day she woke up rosy,
And she snuggled up so cozy.
When she asked me how I liked it,
Lord it hurts me to admit,

I was stoned and I missed it.
I was stoned and I missed it.
I was stoned and it rolled right by.
I was stoned and I missed it.
I was stoned and I missed it.
I was stoned... oh me... oh my.

I ain’t makin' no excuses
For the many things I uses
Just to sweeten my relationships
And brighten up my day.
When my earthly race is over
And I'm ready for the clover
And they ask me how my life has been
I guess I'll have to say,

I was stoned and I missed it.
I was stoned and I missed it.
I was stoned and it rolled right by.
I was stoned and I missed it.
I was stoned and I missed it.
I was stoned... oh me... oh my.
