[Intro]
Dm C Dm  C  Bb  A  G  A  Dm  Dm    A C Dm
 
 
[Verse 1]
Dm
 The devil went to Jamaica, he was lookin' to sell some weed
Dm
 He was doin' fine, they were standin' in line, It was excellent weed indeed
Dm
 When he came across this young man who was likewise peddlin' pot
Dm
 And the devil slid down the beach to the kid and said, "Boy lemme tell ya what" (A) (C) (Dm)
 
Dm
 "I guess you've kinda figured I'm a reefer head of course
Dm
 And after all this time I guess that I'm a connisuer of sorts
Dm
 Now your stuff smells okay, but this could tranquilize a horse
Dm
 I'll bet a million in cash against your stash, 'Cause I think mines better than yours" (A) (C) (Dm)
 
Dm
 The boy said, "My name's Johnny, And you ain't smoked nothin yet
Dm
 One hit of this grass'll kick your ass, You got yourself a bet" (A) (C) (Dm)
 
 
[Bridge]
Dm
 Johnny roll a ball of hash, And (C) make sure it's the bomb
           Gm                                  Dm
'Cause the  devil's got the kind of stuff they  smoked in Vietnam!
       Dm                           G
You'll  get a million smackaroos in  cash if you can cope
    A                                 A
But  if you can't the devil gets your  dope!

[Verse 2]
Dm
 The devil packed a bong with a little Acapulco Gold
Dm
 And resin flew from his fingertips as he fired up his bowl
Dm
 He filled that chamber all the way and he took a mighty hit
Dm                                                               
 As they passed it back and forth it gave them both a coughin' fit (A) (C) (Dm) (Coughing)

[Verse 3]
Dm
 When the bowl was finished Johnny said, "Hey man that stuff was great!
Dm
 But fill your lungs with some of this, And prepare to vegetate!"

|The  devil's in the backyard fryin' his brain!
|D                                    
| Zig-zag filled with the diggity-dank!
|C                                            
| Hold on tight it'll hit ya like a tank! (A) (C) (Dm)
 
 
[Verse 4]
Dm
 The devil nodded off because he knew that he was stoned
Dm
 And he asked if he could buy an ounce of the stuff that Johnny owned
Dm
 Johnny said "Devil just come on back, If you ever wanna catch a buzz
Dm
 I done told you once you son of a bitch, Mines the best there ever was!", And they...

Green as a bullfrog sticky as glue!
C                                  C
