      do some hammer-ons to jazz it up a little bit.
 
F - A  (x2)
 
 
[Verse 1]
    Dm
Oh, Pappy left a chair like he's still sittin' there
       Gm
Once I almost saw him make his move
      Dm
Brave Indian who never changes his mood
     Gm
In a painting on the wall right there
 
 
[Chorus]
    F                         A
Oh, how long 'til the morning wakes
    F                          A
Oh, how long 'til the medicine takes
 
 
[Verse 2]
    Dm
Oh, Sally buffalo in the apartment just below
       Gm
Just a bein' without a care
    Dm
Oh, children from my brood they come and bring me food
      Gm
Maybe open up a window for air
 
 
[Chorus]
    F                              A
Oh, just now I smell the cornbread bake
    F                                 A
Oh, now, now, now I feel the medicine take
 
Occasionally, JB walks up the D string during the A chord:

[Verse 3]
               Dm
Well, we got a party goin' on many spirits strong
Gm
Ain't preacher just a happy to meet ya
       Dm
Half a bottle 'neath the bed keep our spirits fed
   Gm
My hat's off to you, to you and you
            Dm
And now our brave friends, too,
 
dancing circles through the room
      Gm
And a broom and a radio and a twistin out a dos-e-do
Dm
Brand new day, the whole world's goin'
Gm
Whole room's goin' so

Oh, taste the morning break (morning break)
F                        A
Sweet, sweet, young honeycomb (honeycomb)
F                            A
On, now, now, now just like home (just like home)

Oh, just like, just like home
D            A          G
   Where the stray dogs go
D       A      G
Oh, oh, rest my bones
D         A             G           D
   Like a fresh skipped stone to it all
 
G     G     A     G     G    A
Still right here, still just here,
G     G    A                  D
Still just here, brave, brave friend
