Let me tell you a little story about a man a long time [E] ago
He was the quickest draw in the wild [F] west by the name of [Am] Smokin' Joe
And he bopped the cow, hit the store
[E] Money didn't own most, he's good
Let me tell you what he do
He was a barber, he was a roadie, he was a honey tooter
Down with the [A] big fat fuck you
Smokin' Joe, Smokin' Joe, [C] good boy
Let me make sure I heard you [G] right
Seven dollars, fifty four, a large soda, a cup of [F] cheeto
Let me give a long [E] fuck you [A] round
Smokin' Joe, Smokin' Joe, [C] good boy
Let me make sure I heard you [G] right
Even though I'm not with Amazon, you call me
And [F] tell me that my boy Michael [E] Jackson is not you
And so Joe held the [C] law in the town in which he lived
[D] Yeah, all these stupid motherfuckers would bow shit [F] around
Rude boy with his [E] whip last round
Go [A] get em now
Leroy's been gunned down, [C] he's called the King of the Shirley Weals
[G] But before Leroy could blink, he [F] was told to sit and scream
[E] Why don't you take it for a [A] ride now
The muggles got [C] banged, played 30 with a 29 car
[G] But tales were told that Joe grew [Am] 18 arms that day as a gift from Gish New
And as he rose in fame, and Duke McTrye, I'm talking to the man they heard
Whose fist would [A] burn when he flipped the bird
Smokin' Joe, Smokin' Joe, [C] good boy
Let me make sure I heard you right
[G] You want a refund on the money that I spent
You [F] shot for the store credit, [E] and I won't give
[A] Smokin' Joe, Smokin' Joe, [C] good boy
Let me make sure I heard you [G] right
Everybody thought I plied it to my fancy, but
I [F] saw the [E] one thing that [A] I didn't
I shot him [C] because he's big of blood, and smart like [G] my son
And [F] he's a smokin' [E] beast, but
[A] It took the world to [C] jump as fast as hell
[G] Cause if every Jew knew one of them
[F] Joe told you [E] that they had a little girl gone
I know that they're back in [C] heat
And I know that they know that I'm the man to beat
[D] But when I step onto the street with a jingle in my feet
They know that I know [E] that they know that they can [A] fuck us out
Some say many years ago, [C] before Joseph Rudeboy was Smokin' Joe
[G] He had a wife, her name was Bo, [F] Bo was a [E] child in a happy [A] home
But it's down an outlaw came, [C] who wore a velvet cloak like a [D] bloodstain
Now Bo didn't like Joe, he was an old [F] gun, so Bo told [A] Joe to fuckin' run
He gotta bring back hell
[C] Run faster, faster
[D] Let me stay in the fires, [F] run for your life
No [E] guns, you've got to [Am] go
Boy, you're too slow
For a [G] child that he'd never know
[E]
[Am] Joseph [C] Rudeboy, you're too slow
[G] Burnin' inside, Joseph died, but [C] from the ash
The [G] man who rose to [A] Smokin' Joe
Smokin' Joe Rudeboy
He's a human being, a gift, [G] that's the word
I heard he was born in a [D] fire and rides a pair of flamin' birds
Smokin' Joe, I'm a [C] smokin' boy
I heard he's never shot no [G] woman, but he's still locked up
Half from the wild [D] west, lookin' for a belt to wear, son of a [A] gun
When Bo and R-Law [C] came to town
Come out here Smokin' Joe, [G] you're just as well already dead
[F] We are a velvet crowd, [E] but Joe's [A] alright
And all the dreams of [C] people that we've seen
[G] All the trash we'll clean to wash one day
[F] Who knew Joe was [E] gonna tell [A] someone's a
Their eyes were locked, what [C] seemed like three [G] eternities
[D] To Joe, the [E] velvet man seemed different
From how he [A] remembered him to be
But it was all the same to [C] Smokin' Joe
Who'd been through hell
He [G] dreamt every night the last eighteen [F] years
Of telling his [E] father, fuck [Am] himself
But when Joe went to ball his hand into a [D] flamin' fist
The outlaw shot him first with a middle [F] finger that [E] looked just like [A] his
And as Joe fell, he [C] beheld the outlaw's face
[D] A young girl who'd seen it all, who [F] grew up in a [E] terrible place
[A] Whose mother once told Joseph [C] to run and bring back help
[G] A girl who thought her father had [Em] run out to save himself
[A] Smokin' Joe, I'm a [C] smokin' boy
Let me make sure I heard you right
[G] You been telling everybody I'm a deadbeat
And daddy [F] didn't know I tried to save [E] you?
Fuck you, [A] daughter!
Smokin' Joe, I'm a [C] smokin' boy
Let me make sure I heard you right
[G] Now it's time to follow in and learn the truths we can be
[F] You got it? That's right!
