G Deadheads and tie-dye array Dog music devotees F C Like nothing I had ever heard or seen D It was jamgrass for the hippies G D Old stuff from the fifties G C D Just about nothing in between G I stood and tried to play along Boy, I only knew a couple songs F C While bolder kids sat in with the bands D I watched and envied from afar C G Head bowed down over my guitar C D C And praying to catch that magic in my hands
