🎸 Intro:

A   G A G A D
A  G A G A D A


🎸 Verse 1:
A
From both sides of the track
      G        A
Out here in Nashville, Tennessee
      G        A
They ain't rolling out red carpets
   D
For a sinning man like me
      A
But if they did I'd probably walk 'em
       G        A
Through them pearly gates of Hell
       G       A
I'd meet the devil at the crossroads
     D         A
Shake his hand and wish him well

🎸 Chorus:
      G       D
And there's smoke on the water
       G      D
Yeah, there's fire on the sun
    G          D
If this river ain't made of whiskey
                      A
Then there ain't no bullets in this smokin' gun


🎸 Post-Chorus:
A
Load it up


Instrumental 🎸 Break:
A  G A G A D A


🎸 Verse 2:
A
I've always been a prayin' man
     G        A
And I'll be one 'til I'm gone
     G          A
But there ain't a prayer that strong enough
  D
To right me from my wrongs
       A                    G         A
So I'll just sit here and I'll raise a glass to the men I could have been
       G       A        D       A
And thank the good Lord up above ah that I ain't none of them


🎸 Chorus:
      G       D
And there's smoke on the water
       G      D
Yeah, there's fire on the sun
    G          D
If this river ain't made of whiskey
                      A
Then there ain't no bullets in this smokin' gun


Fiddle & Guitar Solos:

🎸 Chorus:
      G       D
And there's smoke on the water
       G      D
Yeah, there's fire on the sun
    G          D
If this river ain't made of whiskey
D
Then there ain't no bullets in this smokin'
D
Call my bluff and I'm still hoping
                 A
Ain't no bullets in this smokin' gun
