Burn One Down by Ben Harper
Tabbed by Sam Trowbridge
This song im sure is 100% correct! This song is for accoustic guitar. It is meant to be tuned down a step but it sounds fine without it.

Let us burn one
From end to end
And pass it over
To me my friend
Burn it long, we'll burn it slow
To light me up before I go
If you don't like my fire
Then don't come around
Cause I’m gunna burn one down
Yes I'm gunna burn one down
My choice is what I choose to do
And if I'm causing no harm
It shouldn't bother you
Your choice is who you choose to be
And if your causin' no harm
Then you're alright with me
If you don't like my fire
Then don't come around
Cause I'm gunna burn one down
Yes I’m gunna burn one down
Herb the gift from the earth
And what's from the earth
Is of the greatest worth
So before you knock it try it first
You'll see it's a blessing
And not a curse
If you don't like my fire
Then don't come around
Cause I'm gonna burn one down
Yes I'm gonna burn one down
