Note: While the G chord is being strummed, you can
do some hammer-ons to jazz it up a little bit.

Verse 1:
Oh, Pappy left a chair like he's still sittin' there
Once I almost saw him make his move
Brave Indian who never changes his mood
In a painting on the wall right there
Chorus:
Oh, how long 'til the morning wakes
Oh, how long 'til the medicine takes
Verse 2:
Oh, Sally buffalo in the apartment just below
Just a bein' without a care
Oh, children from my brood they come and bring me food
Maybe open up a window for air
Chorus:
Oh, just now I smell the cornbread bake
Oh, now, now, now I feel the medicine take
Occasionally, JB walks up the D string during the A chord:

Just like home
Where the stray dogs go through it all
Still right here, still just here,
Brave little friend

Verse 3:
Well, we got a party goin' on many spirits strong
Ain't preacher just a happy to meet ya
Half a bottle 'neath the bed keep our spirits fed
My hat's off to you, to you and you
And now our brave friends, too,
dancing circles through the room
And a broom and a radio and a twistin out a dos-e-do
Brand new day, the whole world's goin'
Whole room's goin' so
Chorus:
Just now, don't hesitate (hesitate)
Oh, taste the morning break (morning break)
Sweet, sweet, young honeycomb (honeycomb)
On, now, now, now just like home (just like home)
Bridge:
Oh, just like, just like home
Where the stray dogs go
Oh, oh, rest my bones
Like a fresh skipped stone to it all
Still right here, still just here,
Still just here, brave, brave friend
