This is exactly the chords The Fugs use on the studio version, but not exactly the best
progression. If you are annoyed with what they're playing then add an E chord in the
Chorus during the "Whoa oh/Oh no!" part.
Intro:

Am D
I went to a party
Am D
just the other night
Am D Am D
I wanted to feel my brain was light
D
I grabbed myself a bottle
D
and I started drinking wine
E
I thought pretty soon, I'd be feeling fine....
Am D Am D
But I couldn't get high! Oh, No!
Am D Am D
Don't know why, Oh, No!
Am D
So I threw down the bottle
Am D
and whipped out my pipe
Am D
and I stuffed it full of grass
Am D
and I gave myself a light
D
I huffed, I puffed
D
I smoked and I toked
E
but after awhile, my heart was nearly broke.....
Am D Am D
cause I couldn't get high, Oh, No!
Am D Am D
Don't know why, Oh, No!
Am D Am D
(Guitar solo)
Am D
So I threw down the pipe
Am D
as mad as I could be
Am D Am D
and gobbled up a tube of LSD
D
I waited thirty minuets
D
for my body to sing
E
I waited and I waited
E
but couldn't get a thing
Am D Am D
cause I couldn't get high, Oh, no!
Am D Am D
Couldn't get high whoa oh!
Am D Am D
I couldn't get high, whoa oh!
Am D Am D
Don't know why, oh no!
