[Am]
Let me tell you a little story about a man a long [E] time ago
He was the quickest draw in the wild [F] west by the [G] name of [Am] Smokin' Joe
And he smoked a cow, hit the door
[G#m] Money didn't own Moe six good, let me tell you what he [E] took
He blew the bar, made the road, he could banish you to [C] bed
With a [A] big fat buck you smoked and slept
Mother Joe, [C] rude 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 him a one, [E] fuck you right
[A] Smokin' Joe, [G] [C] smoker boy
Let me make sure I heard you [G] right
Even though I'm not with Amazon, you're calling me to [F] tell me that before my husband [E] gets here Fuck [A] you!
And so Joe [Em] held the [C] law in the town of Witchely
Yeah, [G] on a stupid motherfuckers woodpile, she'd a [F] round rude boy with his [E] whip last round
Joe, get [A] out now!
Leroy, two dumb tank [C] hits on the feet, surely we [G] in
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 mongols met and [C] gang played pretty with a twenty nine [G] crew
[C] But tales were [Bm] told that Joe grew [Am] eighteen arms that day as a gift from Vishnu
And as he rose in fame, every freak tried [G] out my thing
To the man they heard, who kissed [A] Flintburn when he flipped the bird
Smokin' Joe, smoker [C] boy
Let me make sure I heard you right
[G] You want a refund, the money that I spent, you [F] shot with score credit [E] Fuck you!
[A] Smokin' Joe, smoker [C] boy
Let me make sure I heard you [G] right
Everybody bought a platter to my fancy, but I [F] didn't have any money
So do [E] I!
[A] He had a big [C] wrist
Bigger than his eye
Like a son
[Em] And [F] he'd be smoking baby's [A]
spats
Picture print while they [Am] choked
[C] And passed hail
[G] Plusin' every tool he wanted
[F] Sure told you [E] that they had a literal gun
I know [A] that they're back in heat
[C] And I know that they know that I'm the [G] man to beat
But when I step onto the street with the jingle in my feet
[F] They know that I know [E] that they know that they can
Fuck [A] myself, some say many years ago
[C] Before Joseph Rube boy was [G] smokin' Joe
He had a wife, her name was Bo, [F] Bo was the [E] child in a happy [A] home
But it's down an [Em] outlaw came [C] who wore a velvet cloak like a [D] bloodstain
Now Bo didn't like Joe using no gun [F] so Bo told Joe [A] to fuckin' run
He gotta bring back his
[C] Run fast, Joe, [G] fast, Joe
Lemme stay in five
His mom [F] says no
No [E] guns, you've got to [Am] go
I was his love
For a [G] child that he'd never [A] know
[Am]
Joe's old friend
[C] I got his love
[G] Burnin' inside, Joseph died
But from [C] the [G] ash, the man who [A] rose to smoking Joe
Smokin' Joe [C] was a boy
He's a human phoenix, yes, [G] that's the word
I heard he was born in a [D] fire and rides a pair of flaming [A] birds
Smokin' Joe was [G] a [C] good boy
I heard he's never shot no woman
[G] But he's still locked up half from the wild west
[D] Livin' poor, beltin' wearin' in front of a [A] gun
One day an outlaw [C] came to town
Come out here, smokin' Joe, [G] you're just as well already dead
[F] He wore a velvet cloak [A] like Joe's already
And from the streets of [C] Cambridge
Clear, clear, meet all [G] the townsfolk
Came to watch one day [F] when Joe was [E] gonna tell someone
[A] Just their eyes were locked, what seemed [C] like three [E] eternities
[D] To Joe, [E] the velvet man seemed different [D] from how he [C] remembered him to be
[A] But it was all the same, [Em] just [C] smokin' Joe hooked him to hell
He [G] dreamt [Em] every night the last 18 years [F] of telling his lie [E] to fuck himself
[Am] But when Joe went to ball his hand into a flaming fist
[Gm] The outlaw shot [Dm] him first with a middle finger that looked [C#m] just [A] like his
And as Joe fell he [C] beheld the outlaw's face
[G] The young girl who'd seen it all and [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 run out [Em] to save [A] himself
Smokin' Joe was a [C] good boy
Let me make sure I heard you right
[G] You been tellin' everybody I'm a deadbeat daddy
[F] Didn't know I tried to save your [E] life
Fuck you, daughter
[A] Smokin' Joe was [G] a [C] good boy
Let me make sure I heard you right
[G] Now I found my father and I learned the truth
We can be [F] reunited That's right
