VEGETABLE MAN
Words and Music by Syd Barrett
Recorded by Pink Floyd 1967
Comment: Due to the RoIO nature of all copies of this song,
the notes and chords may be up or down several cents
or anywhere in between due to poor copying
(or maybe it was originally recorded bad).
For the recording that this transcription was taken from (the studio version),
I had to tune down a bit (about -15 cents) to match the recording.
Intro:

G
In yellow shoes I get the blues
Though I walk the street with my plastic feet
G#
With blue velvet trousers make me feel pink
There's a kind of stink about blue velvet trousers
A
In my paisley shirt I look a jerk
And my turquoise waistcoat is quite outta sight
Bb
But oh, oh, my haircut looks so fair
B
Vegetable Man, how are you?
G
So I've change my gear and I find my knees
And I cover them up with the latest cut
G#
And my pants and socks, a vault in a box
It don't take long for my dyed old socks (in the live version, Syd says "Nylon
socks")
A
The watch, black watch, my watch with a black face
And a date in a little hole
Bb
And all the lot, it's what I got, it's what I wear
It's what you see, it must be me, it's what I am!

G C9
Got the Bob Dylan blues and the Bob Dylan shoes
G D * D
And my clothes and my hair's in a mess
G
But you know I just couldn't care less
C9
Go on write me a song 'bout what's right and what's wrong
G D (*) D
'Bout God and my girl and all that
G
Quiet, while I make like a cat
D
CHORUS: 'Cause I'm a poet don't you know it
G C
And the wind you can blow it
G D (*) D
'Cause I'm mr.Dylan the king
G
And I'm free as a bird on a wing
Roam from town to town guess I get people down
But I don't care too much about that
'Cause my gut and my wallet are fat
Make a whole lotta dough but I deserve it though
I got soul and a good heart of gold
So sing about war and the cold
CHORUS: 'Cause I'm a poet ...
Well I sings about dreams and I rhymes it with seems
'Cause it seems that my dream always means
That I can prophecy all kinds of things
Well the guy that digs me should try hard to see
That he buys all my discs and a hat
And when I'm in town go see that
CHORUS: 'Cause I'm a poet ...
repeat INTRO
