    Im Gettin Stoned

This song is in the key of C.  To make it sound like the record, you need to tune to drop D, 
then tune everything down a full step.
Please don't comment that my chord chart is completely wrong when you didn't read the above
 notice.  

It should look like this:

E tuned to D
B tuned to A
G tuned to F
D tuned to C
A tuned to G
E tuned to C

D5

Verse 1:
D5                          Csus4
Read it in the paper, marked the date on the wall
     G                         D5
To remind myself to celebrate the day I lose it all
        D5                         Csus4
They made plans to be together.  I made plans to be alone.

She got a rock,          I'm gettin' stoned.

Damn right I've got objections, but it's awful too late now.
       G                         D5
Yea the cans are on the limo and the rice is on the ground.
       D5                            Csus4
They're headed for the islands, but hell I'm already gone.

She got a rock,           I'm gettin' stoned

Chorus:
        G                    D5
Here's to happy ever after, and here's to balls and chains.
A                       C*   D5
Here's to all us haters of old lovers' new last names.
G                             D5            G
Here's to holdin' up and gettin' right where I belong.
         G        C   G      D5
She got a rock,          I'm gettin' stoned.

*You don't have to play this C, but I think it's outlined by the other instruments

Verse 3:
     D5                        Csus4
Yea I knew that it was over when I heard those weddin' bells.
    G                        D5
That preacher was my jailer, now this bottle is my bail.
  D5                            Csus4
So much for all that prayin' her I do would be I don't.

She got a rock,          I'm getting' stoned

She got a rock,          I'm gettin' stoned

Outro:
Vamp on D5

*Note* If you prefer, you can play the F/C in place of the Csus4 throughout the song.  
I think the open note sounds better, and is what is being played on the album.
Try both and you'll agree it's very hard to tell.
The F/C looks like this:

D-1
A-1
F-2
C-3
G-3
C-X
