To match the key of the original recording,
tune your guitar down 1/4 step
( string will be between and ).
The opening dialogue is set to a bass guitar
strumming some F notes.
Oh, have you ever met that funny reefer man?
Have you ever met that funny reefer man?
If he says he swam to China,
And he'll sell you South Carolina,
Then you know you're talkin' to that reefer man
Have you ever met that funny reefer man?
Have you ever met that funny reefer man?
If he says he walks the ocean,
Any time he takes the notion,
Then you know you're talkin' to the reefer man
Have you ever met this funny reefer man?
Oh, baby baby baby reefer man
If he trades you dimes for nickles
And calls watermelons "pickles,"
Then you know you're talkin' to that reefer man
Have you ever met the funny reefer man?
Have you ever met the funny reefer man?
If he takes a sudden mania,
Wants to give you Pennsylvania,
Then you know you're talkin' to the reefer man
Have you ever met the funny reefer man?
Have you ever met the funny reefer man?
If he says Wall Street is panicked
Cause he won't sell the Atlantic,
Then you know you're talkin' to that reefer man
