Notes- Ben plays this song turned down a step to a DGCFAd tuning. However,
the transcription below is with standard EADGBe. If you want it to
sound exactly like the album you need to tune it down.
Also, this song is entirely fingerpicked. Use your thumb for the E,
A, and D strings.

Riff 3 Let us burn one from end to end
and pass it over to me my friend
Riff 3 Burn it long but burn it slow
to light me up before I go
Riff 3 If you don't like my fire
then don't come around
'cause I'm gonna burn one down
Riff 4 Yes I'm gonna burn one ... down
Riff 1 (3x)
Riff 2 (1x)
Riff 3 My choice is what I choose to do
and if I'm causing no harm it shouldn't bother you
Riff 3 You're choice is who you choose to be
and if you're causing no harm then you're alright with me
Riff 3 If you don't like my fire
then don't come around
'cause I'm gonna burn one down

Riff 3 Herb the gift from the earth
and whats from the earth is of the greatest worth
Riff 3 so before you knock it try it first

then don't come around
'cause I'm gonna burn one down
Riff 4 Yes I'm gonna burn one .....
