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

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