Oh god this takes me back, this bloke is so intrepidly Australian, as a kiwi I never thought I say this, but I miss that country, I look forward to the day I return! This brought me so much joy
Like the picking a lot here, very laid back, fun to play! Chords and lyrics below. Verse 1 & 2 D Asus4 D / D Asus4 D / D Asus4 G / D Asus4 Bm / D Asus4 D / D Asus4 D Interlude D Asus4 D / D Asus4 D / D F# G / D Asus4 D Verse 3 D Asus4 D / D Asus4 D / D Asus4 G / D Asus4 Bm Verse 4 D Asus4 D / D Asus4 D / D Asus4 G / D Asus4 D Outro D Asus4 D / D Asus4 D / D F# G / D Asus4 D The G in the Interlude is played as a Barree chord, just slide the F# up one fret Lots of hammer-ons and pull-offs are used when playing the D chord (mainly 0h2 and 2p0 on e string) Asus4 x0223x [Verse 1] When life gets you down, don't have to do it alone When your head's hanging low don't lift it on your own There ain't no shame in killing pain Well, Mary Jane you've done it again Don't think about it til the mornings rise Keep pushing it down and it might go away [Verse 2] Some people do it on the holy word They got the spirit of Jesus filling up the void Their eyes shine blue, well mine are red Please explain to me why we can't be friends I see you run from the truth, I'd have to try to pretend If you're really born again you wouldn't see through a lens [Interlude] [Verse 3] So you can go ahead and judge me, it'll probably be fair If I gave up the smokes, I could be a millionaire Just don't go and tell me to do this life sober Well, I'll give up the green when my worries are over [Verse 4] Until the day that I die I will probably be high Or until I get a break from this nasty old life When the tax man stopped knocking and the baby don't cry Til then my friends, let's sit around and get high [Outro]
"Their eyes shine so blue while mine are red" yes I think that's it. Great work Nico getting this up! What a fun one to play, I'm gonna learn this one myself.
GemsOnVHS came to Australia and I didn't know?! Damn, I've found some excellent artists through this channel over the years, this is very cool. I saw Mr. Buttons just two nights ago at a wonderfully muddy folk and bluegrass festival. Now I just wish he would put down the beug long enough to record another album...
I've been waiting for y'all to meet up with Brodie! Favorite songwriter by a mile. Excited for any other recordings that come out of your time with him
@@GemsOnVHS I don't remember... It was the button collective supporting the dead maggies at a pub in Tassie. Must have been 8 years ago. The pub is known cos the owner let people smoke weed openly inside even though its illegal.
Love thw song but also love that intro editing where it gradually fades you in. Loveky touch. The producers on these Gems vids are brilliant. Well done to yhem. Feels like im watching a modern version of Pete Seegers Rainbow Quest. Hats off to you all who make and participate.
it's like a nostalgic dissidence makes me all warm inside with tingly feet smoke and smoke and smoke some more gotta get threw that door tonight cause tomorrow s life is busy pondering what to do with me again and again I beg and tell my friends but it still all breaks in the end then they say that's why we can't be friends so send up some smoke signals now it's nice and legal Terpene airlines got me feeling fine same as before every time so the lessen here is beyond belief but here goes sure there ain t no Shame in killing pain but flip that coin and understand the same sometimes it goes the other way too uplifting super smoke changing your life showing you what not everyone can see so smoke some if ya got it and always give thanks to the sweetest leaf
Anthony, It's like you're walking in the Lomax Shoes on the Simpkins path. It's beautiful, and who would have imagined that we'd have the technology to both share and archive things like this so quickly!
Hills of Bendigo, what a song. I advise everyone to search Brodie on RUclips. & We recorded some banjo around the campfire that night. The whiskey might've made the camera work a little off.

@@GemsOnVHS as we speak

Well, you will have an easier time getting back than me! Cheers and go have a little outback adventure soon.
You had me at “Australia” and “smoking dope” Cheers from Oregon 😮💨
this is stellar…the garden, the song, the mustache🙌🏽
I love the flowers dancing to the music
The garden was jamming right along with us.
That flower is billy goat weed.
@@lucydrummond7018 a rose by any other name
Had a joint in the outdoor bath last night and watched this for the first time what a treat.

[Verse 1]
When life gets you down, don't have to do it alone
When your head's hanging low don't lift it on your own
There ain't no shame in killing pain
Well, Mary Jane you've done it again
Don't think about it til the mornings rise
Keep pushing it down and it might go away
[Verse 2]
Some people do it on the holy word
They got the spirit of Jesus filling up the void
Their eyes shine blue, well mine are red
Please explain to me why we can't be friends
I see you run from the truth, I'd have to try to pretend
If you're really born again you wouldn't see through a lens
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
So you can go ahead and judge me, it'll probably be fair
If I gave up the smokes, I could be a millionaire
Just don't go and tell me to do this life sober
Well, I'll give up the green when my worries are over
[Verse 4]
Until the day that I die I will probably be high
Or until I get a break from this nasty old life
When the tax man stopped knocking and the baby don't cry
Til then my friends, let's sit around and get high
[Outro]
I think he sings..."Their eyes shine blue, well mine are red"
"Their eyes shine so blue while mine are red" yes I think that's it. Great work Nico getting this up! What a fun one to play, I'm gonna learn this one myself.
@@JasenTapia fits well, thank you!
@@GemsOnVHS Cheers! Have fun learning bud
@@cedarriver thank you as always.
This song was featured on KXCI 91.3 in Tucson
Picked a perfect place to to play this nice little tune. The land your on is beautiful.
Brodies backyard was no joke! That area was so thick and vibrant with life, it was unbelievable.
I cannot stop listening to this. It’s so honest. Very beautiful, keep ‘em coming

I saw Mr. Buttons just two nights ago at a wonderfully muddy folk and bluegrass festival. Now I just wish he would put down the beug long enough to record another album...
this should be part of the soundtrack on Big Lez Show & co
what a fantastic (and unique) voice. somehow reminds me of disney’s robin hood (brian bedford)
That film had some great music! Roger Miller singing Oo-de-lally!!!
Just saw Brody play at the Dorrigo Folk Festival. Oct 2022. Best singer musician I have seen for I don’t know how long.
F n best song I have heard in a long time
Brilliant absolutely brilliant 👍
To me, this is a perfect song. I will listen a thousand times over the next couple days. 😊
Mate you and your music are golden saw you up Nymboida way and you guys were by far my fave act! Thanks for keeping the Aussie bluegrass vibe alive!!
I've been waiting for y'all to meet up with Brodie! Favorite songwriter by a mile. Excited for any other recordings that come out of your time with him
Thanks for a lovely song about one of my favorite things. 💙🎶
And mine. Light one for Brodie tonight boys
So happy to see Brodie on here.
Saw him live in Tassie years ago, and been a fan ever since
What a show to catch. Do you remember what songs he played then?
@@GemsOnVHS I don't remember...
It was the button collective supporting the dead maggies at a pub in Tassie.
Must have been 8 years ago.
The pub is known cos the owner let people smoke weed openly inside even though its illegal.
Wow never thought I'd hear anyone with the same style of beautifully subtle picking and catchy songs as Jake LaBotz.. love it!
Love to hear it Brodie mate, feel blessed to have met you mate
Love thw song but also love that intro editing where it gradually fades you in. Loveky touch. The producers on these Gems vids are brilliant. Well done to yhem. Feels like im watching a modern version of Pete Seegers Rainbow Quest. Hats off to you all who make and participate.
thanks mate. rainbow quest is an inspiration to this for sure, and even more so alan lomax work. glad you dig it.
Great recording of Brodie, and it was lovely to see Andrew at the end whom I have cat sat on a few occasions!!
The best!
it's like a nostalgic
dissidence
makes me all warm inside
with tingly feet
smoke and smoke
and smoke some more
gotta get threw that door tonight
cause tomorrow s
life is busy pondering what to do with me
again and again
I beg and tell my friends
but it still all breaks in the end
then they say that's why we can't be friends
so send up some smoke signals
now it's nice and legal
Terpene airlines
got me feeling fine
same as before every time so the lessen here is beyond belief
but here goes
sure there ain t no Shame in killing pain
but flip that coin and
understand the same
sometimes it goes the other way too
uplifting super smoke
changing your life
showing you what not everyone can see
so smoke some if ya got it
and always give thanks
to the sweetest leaf
Amazing , great to see more Australian folks
Excellent! And that roosters stamp at the end. Magnificent!

One day later and I can confirm, excellent song to smoke dope to

Do they make acoustics? lol I might sign up up for an endorsement myself
@@GemsOnVHS they dont make acoustics but everyone should have one. they are great guitars even the factory run stuff is awesome for any kind of music.
Oi go ways
Nothing better then seeing rainbows in the rainbow region
Americana at its best from Australia. Go figure
This is Australiacana
What a guy. Did you guys record anything on his banjo? I found him through his excellent Hills of Bendigo and I'm still in love with it
Hills of Bendigo, what a song. I advise everyone to search Brodie on RUclips. & We recorded some banjo around the campfire that night. The whiskey might've made the camera work a little off.
@@GemsOnVHS That just means it'll be more immersive ;P
Am I high or was there a magic doob that would disappear and reappear?
Lmao you're high, but light one up to this song
you don't need a MJ bruvva, you need a BJ bruvva
If Doug Henning was cool...
Australia is ruined. It's sad Canada too.
dunno, i just got back and it seemed fine to me
