Buffy Sainte Marie - "Smack Water Jack" Chords

[N] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Smack _ what a jack he bought a _ shotgun _ _ _ _ _ _
Cause he was in the mood for a little _ confrontation _ _
_ _ _ _ _ He didn't think _ about the noose
He just [Cm] let it all hang loose
_ He couldn't [G] take no more [F] abuse
So he shot down the _ [C] congregation _ _ _ _
_ _ You can't [G] talk to [Am] a man
_ With a shotgun [C] in his [F] _ _ hand _
_ _ _ With a shotgun in his [C] hand _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Now Big Jim the chief stood for law and order _ _
He _ _ _ called _ _ _ for the men to surround the border _ _ _ _ _ _
And from his _ bulldog mouth
_ As the posse headed _ south
_ Came a cry we [G] got to ride to [F] clean up the streets
For our wives and our [C] daughters _
_ _ _ _ You [G] can't talk to a [Am] _ man
When he don't [C] want to _ [F] understand _
_ _ _ _ _ _ And he don't want to _ [C] understand _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ The account of the capture wasn't in the papers _ _ _
_ _ _ But you _ know _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ they hung old Smack right then and there instead of later
_ And _ _ _ _ the people were quite pleased
_ That the outlaw had been seized
And on the [G] whole it was a very good [F] year _ _
_ For the _ [C] undertaker _
_ _ _ _ You can't [G]
talk to a [Am] man _
When he don't want to [C] _ _ [F] understand _
_ _ _ _ When he don't want to _ [C] understand _ _ _ _
