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

🎸 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

            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

            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
