These are Nobody Dies From Weed chords by Hayes & The Heathens on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

 [Intro]
E
          A
There’s a million
ways to
E
make grave, but
nobody dies from weed!

[Verse 1]
       E
They decided to go to
the magic show where
A            E
Flo she volunteered,
To do her part for
the sake
of art, step up and
     B    Bsus4  B
disappear,
        E
And the crowd all
gasped when she
got halved
and they saw
    A    A7
her bleed,
      A7
Where some folks
croak from
E
mirrors and smoke, but
B                E
nobody dies from weed.

[Chorus 1]
A
Nobody’s punched
their ticket on
E
mother nature’s gift,
Or gone to meet their
maker from puffin on a
B
spliff,
  E
A hornet’s sting,
a boxing ring,
                 A
cancer storms or speed,
In ways diverse folks
find the hearse but
B                E
nobody dies from weed.

[Interlude]
E  A  E  B  E

[Verse 2]
        E
Well he left his
home for
E7
Yellowstone with a
A
dream and a fifth
   E
of rye,
   E
He parked his truck
and thanked
his luck when the
             B
buffalo come by,
       E
He had cowboy pride
boy he
could ride but the
signs he
        A    A7
did not read,
Some folks die from
E
being dumb,
B                E
but nobody dies from
  E7
weed.

[Chorus 2]
A
Nobody dies from
             E
gettin' high off o
f god’s own grass,
Never has that deep
inhale
turned out to be
      B
their last,
        E
To be a big earthquake,
a
hunk of steak,
E7           A
envy lust or greed,
Ways abound to get
E
under the ground
    B
but nobody dies from
E
weed.

[Interlude]
E  A  E  B  D
D  D  D  B7

[Chorus 3]
         A
When the roll is
called up yonder and
my
E
spirit flies away,
E
It won’t have one
thing to do with
getting’
            B7
stoned that day,
     E
In a local bar,
the closest
star or some kind
of
      A
dirty deed,
There’s a million
ways to
E
make the grave but
B7               E     E7
nobody dies from weed.

[Outro]
A              E
Ways abound to get
underground, but
B
nobody is gonna
die from weed!
E  A  E
D  A

How to play Nobody Dies From Weed: key, chords and progression

Nobody Dies From Weed by Hayes & The Heathens is centred on E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯). The song uses 9 chords: E, A, B, Bsus4, A7, E7, D, B7 and C.

The backbone of the song is A – E – B – E (IV – I – V – I in E major). In solfa, that is fah – doh – soh – doh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: on guitar, B and Bsus4 need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
