Roll yer own,
F#m(sus.4) C#m Bm
don’t mean you got no money
F#m(sus.4)
C#m Bm
Only that you got no opportunity
C#m F#m
to share it with a friend of mine
Roll yer own if you can’t buy ready made
If you won’t be satisfied when you feel a sudden need to unwind
A
Bm
F#m
You know what moves you in the wee hours
A
Bm
F#m
When there’s nothing on the answer phone
A
Bm
F#m
And if you don’t get enough of
that electric love
A
C#m
F#m(sus.4)…
Don’t try
to get by. Roll
yer own
When no one’s listening. When the reruns play
On the late night black and white TV
Roll yer own when there’s something missing
When those wild cats howl, running in the moonshine
Roll yer own, got to hit that spotRoll yer own, when your hands are hot
