G                                  Am
It was the best day                             of my life
                Em                                  Bm
I had some real green shit that was stuck in my pipe
                G                                  Am
                It wasn't black and nor was it brown but.
                Em                                  Bm
                skunky as’a ripe-oh and just about right.


[Verse 1/3]

                     G                     Am
This psychedelic shit that was making me feel high
                     Em                     Bm
Despite that paranoia that was making me feel shy
                     G           Am                    Em                              Bm
        Oh-Ohh shit, why-I need a drink to get on with’a the this old cotton mouth,
dry see.


[Chorus]

                     G    Am     Em    Bm                 G       Am     Em    Bm
             You should know that I never meant to let go…       
                     G    Am     Em    Bm                 G       Am     Em    Bm
        See, you should know that I never meant to let go…      


[Verse 3/3]

Well see,
         G                                     Am
 today is the day’l that the tripper might(’nt) play
         Em                                             Bm
To blow your mind and give it a little (till I?) end display
         G                  Am                           Em
      X-ray vision,        Should I smoke some more-ore
         Bm
        Now that's an easy decision.
         G                       Am
I was falling down a black hole, reach impact with a collision
         Em                       Bm
     and I saw a Mickey Mouse oh, you got to be kidding
        G                     Am               Em
And I heard a few gun shots oh up in the air and I saw that Mickey
                 Bm 
Mouse was givin’a me the death stare See,


[Chorus]

                     G    Am     Em    Bm                 G        Am      Em     Bm
             You should know that I never meant to let go…       

                     G    Am     Em    Bm                 G        Am      Em     Bm
        See, you should know that I never meant to let go…       


[Verse 3/3]

                G                                      Am
o-Everybody’s got a reason but they just don't know it now.
        Em                       Bm
Oh-Every step I take her, ooh, I look around
  G                      Am                         Em
We’re higher, we’re higher than the aeroplane who just you gotta keep up-(a)bove the
            Bm
surface or you surely drown.
G                                              Am
Higher than the aeroplane beyond the hill side
        Em                                              Bm
Oh, if you shot us down then we'd burst into flames
G                                 Am                    Em                      Bm
But like they say, no pain, no game and like they say, every dog has it's day See,


[Chorus]

                     G    Am     Em    Bm                  G      Am     Em    Bm
