G      E7      A7  D7    G*         X2

[Verse 1]
G                            E7              A7                         D7
  Well, when I got home from work last night   I headed straight for my stash, 'cause
G                     E7                     A7                       D7
  I wanted some of my private blend which is   two parts grass to one part hash.
      G                                G7                 C                             A7/C#
Well,   when I got to my little secret hiding place and I checked out my little plastic bag.
      G                                   E7              A7            D7     G*
Well,   there wasn't a speck of that nice leaf left and I felt my whole spirit sag.

[Chorus]
                    C                  G
There's nothing but   twigs and seeds,   twigs and seeds
         G            E7        A7              D7       G*      N.C.
and they sure don't deliver the punch that this ole head needs.

[Verse 2]
G                          E7                  A7                         D7
  So I phoned up my old connection and I said "Look, Richard, this is an emergency, man, look, I
G                         E7                  A7                     D7
just discovered that I am   fresh out of that herb that's so dear to me. You know what I mean man?"
 G                        G7                     C                                      A7/C#
"Look, Jesse, I'd like to help you, man", said, "I'm in business to supply you with the weed, you know,
    G                       E7                                  A7                 D7                G*
but   the man just busted a whole huge shipment of mine and now everyone in town's smokin' Twigs and seeds".

[Chorus]
                    C                  G
There's nothing but   twigs and seeds,   twigs and seeds
         G            E7        A7              D7       G*      N.C.
and they sure don't deliver the punch that this ole head needs.

[Interlude]
G      E7      A7  D7    G*

[Verse 3]
G                            E7                    A7                    D7
  So, you have morning glory seeds and nutmeg and LSD and model airplane glue
                       G                E7                A7                                D7
and peyote buttons an' Methedrine, Benzedrine, Hexedrine;   someone said banana peels would do.
       G                       G7                      C                              A7/C#
Let us say the use of these various hallucinogrens was   somehow no longer a legal misdeed.
             G                             E7                        A7         D7                    G*
Well, man, I still think there ought to be some sort of law about possession of nothin' but twigs and seeds.

[Chorus]
                    C                  G
There's nothing but   twigs and seeds,   twigs and seeds
         G            E7        A7              D7       G*      N.C.
and they sure don't deliver the punch that this ole head needs.

[End-Chorus]
                    C                  G
There's nothing but   twigs and seeds,   twigs and seeds
         G            E7        A7              D7       G*      G
and they sure don't deliver the punch that this ole head needs.
