Smoking Section Chords by Jelly Roll

_ _ _ [Bm] _ [G] I was talking to a guy that I [A] respect [Bm] dearly the other day, and he told me [G] not to get [D] so
distracted [A] fighting the [Bm] alligators that I forget to clean the swamp.
[G] And it took me a second to [A] think about what he [Bm] was really saying, but he was saying, [G] don't
let my problems distract me [A] so much [Bm] dealing with them, I forget my mission.
Hey baby brother, [G] how you doing?
The street's still holding.
[A] The last [Bm] time I seen you, you ain't seem so focused.
Can't believe [G] I ain't noticed.
I can't believe I missed [A] it.
Life been crazy, man.
Fast [Bm] life living while struggling, sitting [G] in prison.
I'm sitting and tripping [A] and I'm sitting [Bm] here wishing that you were sitting here with me,
but you're not.
I'm [G] all alone trying to write this song, [A] sipping [Bm] on some bourbon and blowing a little
scrone.
This is [G] therapeutic music, so I'm taking my time.
[D] Figure while I [Bm] had a second, I would drop you a line.
Me and Rhea are [G] doing well, man.
Don't worry about us.
I [A] bet you we had [Bm] something chilling probably rolling in the dub.

[Bm] _ We're staring down.
[G] We're all gone.
I hope they [A] got a place [D] that we can blow.
I hope that [G] heaven has a smoking section.
[A] _ [Bm] _ Hey, mama V, it's [G] been a minute since I mentioned your name and [A] every hardship [Bm] is a
blessing.
And this is the same.
It's been 16 [G] years.

Meanwhile, my [G] cousin came home from doing a bit, [Dm] gave a man an [Bm] iPhone and he didn't know
what it is.

I hope that heaven [G] has a smoking section.
[A] _ [Bm] _ We ain't smoking [G] a while.
I'm sorry the change did it.
[A] That and [Bm] the fact you got [A] strung out on them painkillers.
[Bm] The money and [G] fame did it.
You tried and you can't quit it.
To [A] think it's a [Bm] shame that your [A] name's in the [Bm] same sentence as a junkie, [G] a plunky.
Your back is the monkey.
[A] You used to [Bm] have it all.
[A] The hoes and the money [Bm] had a dream [G] that you killed yourself.
Woke up reaching [A] for my phone [B] like you needed [Am] my help.
But [Bm] I'm so focused on myself [G] and my daughter doing well.
You're a grown [A] man.
I have to [Bm] hope you're going through a spell.
But I'm praying for you.
[G] And I know that you're feeling the pain.
