A Weed Is A Weed 

C        F                 Bb         F
Ah, when I was a boy I was wild I was lazy 
                       C        
I was the shame of my dad 
         F                             Bb         F
Yes, the women and the wine, they were drivin' me crazy 
          C          F
It was so good to be bad 

And I got a job runnin' cheap bootleg whiskey 
Down on the Arkansas line 
I had to be out of my mind 

Chorus:
      Bb                          F 
Well, you'll know the crop by the seeds that are sowed 
                          C
Do all your plantin' with care 
Bb                         F
Water and ground will make anything grow 
                    C       F 
But a weeds still a weed anywhere 

I met a girl in a bar down in Memphis 
She was the good lookin' kind 
She told me how she was drawn to the misfits 
Trouble was all I did find
