This is exactly the chords The Fugs use on the studio version, but not exactly the best  
progression.  If you are annoyed with what they're playing then add an E chord in the  
Chorus during the "Whoa oh/Oh no!" part. 

Intro: 
Am   D 

Am   D 

Am          D 
I went to a party 

         Am    D 
just the other night 

Am          D       Am        D 
I wanted to feel my brain was light 

D 
I grabbed myself a bottle 

D 
and I started drinking wine 

E 
I thought pretty soon, I'd be feeling fine.... 

      Am           D     Am  D 
But I couldn't get high! Oh, No! 

  Am         D    Am  D 
Don't know why, Oh, No! 

     Am             D 
So I threw down the bottle 

    Am             D 
and whipped out my pipe 

      Am                 D 
and I stuffed it full of grass 

      Am            D 
and I gave myself a light 

D 
I huffed, I puffed 

D 
I smoked and I toked 

    E 
but after awhile, my heart was nearly broke..... 

        Am           D     Am  D 
cause I couldn't get high, Oh, No! 

Am         D    Am  D 
Don't know why, Oh, No! 

Am  D  Am  D 
(Guitar solo) 

     Am             D 
So I threw down the pipe 

   Am             D 
as mad as I could be 

    Am           D       Am  D 
and gobbled up a tube of LSD 

  D 
I waited thirty minuets 

 D 
for my body to sing 

E 
I waited and I waited 

E 
but couldn't get a thing 

Am                   D     Am  D 
cause I couldn't get high, Oh, no! 

Am           D    Am  D 
Couldn't get high whoa oh! 

Am             D     Am  D 
I couldn't get high, whoa oh! 

Am         D    Am D 
Don't know why, oh no! 

Am  D  Am  D
