Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]I wanna talk, pass the joint
I was [G]born [Am]in

[Verse 2]
a city they call Buf[G]falo
[Am]Zero degrees below is too damn
cold [G]and funky[Am]
Mama raised me on the numbers [G]racket
[Am]With eight kids and no father
She said she couldn't [G]hack [Am]it
On the eastside where I star
[G]ted [Am]sangin'
On the corners hangin'
Out with all the hoodlums
Pass the joint
Now the love that I find in [G]the city
[Am]Is such a cryin' p[G]ity
[Am]Ain't no love [G]for brothers
[Am]Pass the joint

[Verse 3]
Pass the [Am]joint
I think I want [G]to talk
[Am]'Bout the place I was born,
I was [G]torn[Am]
Said pass the joint
Give me one more [G]hit
[Am]I ain't finished with it
I got some more to say

[Verse 4]
Now the players [Am]hangin'
'round the main [G]strip
[Am]Actin' like they're on a trip
If they had my [G]cash they [Am]could be hip
But it's strange the gossip is so tra[G]gic
[Am]They call me a faggot
And me and all my wo
[G]men [Am]laugh at it, ha
Love, I got my good friends [G]there
They [Am]really keep me dancin'
They keep me really laughin'
In the country,
me, my dog [G]and horses[Am]
Hangin' out with my family
Talkin' 'bout Stone City
Say, pass the joint

[Verse 5]
[Am]I think I wanna ta[G]lk 'bo[Am]ut the place,
where I was born, I was [G]torn
[Am]Say, pass the joint
I need me one more [G]hit
[Am]I ain't finished with it
I got some more [G]to say[Am]

[Verse 6]
Need to talk, 'bout the [Am]city I was [G]born
[Am]I got to talk
I wish they wouldn't be [G]so [Am]torn
I wanna talk 'bout the city I was [G]bred
[Am]I need to talk 'bout the city
that has [G]led me to my [Am]fame
I was born in a city they call Buffalo
Zero degrees below is too damn
cold [G]and funky[Am]

[Verse 7]
I think I wanna talk about [Am]it,
pass [G]the joint[Am][G]
[Am]La- la- la, la- la- la- [G]la- [Am]la, la- la- l[G]a
[Am]La, la- la- la, la- la- la
I [G]think I wanna [Am]talk about
it, pass the joint
La- la- la, la- la- la- [G]la- [Am]la, [G]la- la- la
[Am]La, la- la- la, la- la- la
[G]Come on, one [Am]more hit,

[Verse 8]
that's it
Pass the joint
La- [G]la- la, la- [Am]la- la- la- la, la- la- la
[G]La, [Am]la- la- la, la- la- la
I think I wanna sing about it,
pass the joint
La- la- la, [G]la- [Am]la- la- la- la, la- la- la
La, la- la- la, la- la- la
Thank you
