Half a mile from the county fair

And we were getting dry
G D C G
Almost let a pickup truck nearly pass us by

And he dropped us up the road

Not to mention fishing poles

Then we saw the man from across

The road with the sunshine in his eyes

Well he lived all alone in his own little home

C G

With a great big gallon jar
G D
There were bottles too, one for me and you

And he said "hey, there you are"

And It Stoned Me Piano Tips

1. Take It Slow: It's counterintuitive, but the quickest way to get comfortable and sound great playing a song is to practice it very slowly at first. Steady rhythm and counting are crucial to sounding like a pro, so let yourself get used to feeling the beat at a slow, easy tempo. Once you can nail "And It Stoned Me" slowly, *gradually* speed it up. You'll sound much better than if you jumped in at full speed!

2. Use The Pedal Wisely: Utilize the sustain pedal to connect the chords smoothly, timing your lifts with the arrival of a new chord. For help with sustain pedal timing, check out this video.

3. Simplify if need be: "And It Stoned Me" still sounds great even if you simply hold out the chords and ignore most of the rhythm patterns and extra details in the tutorial video. Feel free to keep it simple, especially if you sing while playing. As you get comfortable, you can always add the fancy stuff later.
