[D] Hey whiskey, hey ginger, I [G] come to you with rigid [F#m] fingers
[D] There [E] [Gm] [Em]
was a stage [D] in the PA, [G] up in western [C]
Massachusetts
And the kids came from miles around to get [Em] messed up on the music
And she dropped [D] down from Bowdoin with a [G] carload of [C] girlfriends
To meet some boys and maybe eat some [G] mushrooms
And they [Em] didn't, she got sick, [D] now she's feeling way too shaky
[C]
She don't want to tell the doctor everything she's taken
[Em]
The paramedics hovered over [D] her like the summer morning [Em] family
[C] They gave her activated charcoal, [G] it flooded her with saline
[A] [C]
[G]
[A] [D] [C]
[Em] You know, so up around the edges, [D] you've been to school but never [C] finished
You've been to jail but never prison
[Em] It was his first day off in [D] forever, man
The festival [C] seemed like a pretty good plan
Crew some ships and get a [Em] suntan
And his friend gave him [D] four but he said only take [Em] one
[C]
But then he got bored and he ended up taking all [Em] four
Awesome, now I'm a man, he [D] ain't that bored anyways
[Em] The [D] paramedics found him, he was shaking up [G] side of the stage
Everything was spinning and [A] I can't seem to chill [C] out
Wicking [G] your jizzy cigarettes
[D] Wicking [G]
[C] [G]
[A] [C]
[G] your jizzy cigarettes
[D] [C]
[Em] She looked just like a baby bird all new and wet and straddle out [C] of parliament
[Em] He quoted her some poetry, [G] he's Tennyson in denim and [Am] sheepskin
[Em] He looked a lot like Izzy Stratton
[D#] They started [G] kissing when the nurses took off their IVs
It was kinda sexy but it was kinda [Em] creepy
Their mouths were fizzy with [G] the cherry cola
They [C] had the privacy of back seats and all the other tents were [G] mostly the dorm
She was
[A] pretty [D] [C]
[G]
[D] [C]
[G]
cool with [A] that, she was getting the chill [C] out of town
[G] Then I never saw that girl again
[D] [C]
[G]
[Em]
[A#]
[D] [G]
[F#] [D]
[G] [D] [E]
They said to her, say like her, I [G] love it when you [Gm] touch [D] each other
