• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

Key: C

🎸 Intro:

C


🎸 Verse 1:
C
I watched my daddy smoking cigarettes
                 Am7
Nicotine and whiskey always on his breath
                     F
He kept a fresh pack open right beside his bed
                          Dm7                          G/B
"Son, them things'll kill ya," is what that doctor said

🎸 Verse 2:
        C
We'd go fishing, trying catch 'em all
              Am7
I'd hear mama bitching, "You smell like an old pool hall"
               F
She'd throw my clothes in the washing machine
            Dm7                                   G/B
And cuss my daddy and scrub the hell right out of me


🎸 Chorus:
          C                   G/B
Well, the love he showed, the jokes he told
Am7                         F
Found a way to seep into my soul
           C              G/B
And I pray every day I'll find a way
           Am7                        F
To pass it on to these children of my own
F
A little secondhand smoke


🎸 Verse 3:
                C
Thinking they'd hurt me never crossed his mind
                   Am7
He was right there with me, not the running kind
                  F
He played it real cool when we disagreed
                   Dm7                          G/B
Well, man, we were old-school, my old man and me


🎸 Verse 4:
                 C
Well, ain't life funny how the world goes 'round
                     Am7
You make all of that money, they still put you in the ground
              F
Man, I'd love to see him and watch him burn one down
                   Dm7                        G/B
He's smoking up in Heaven with those angels now


🎸 Chorus:
          C                   G/B
Well, the love he showed, the jokes he told
Am7                         F
Found a way to seep into my soul
           C              G/B
And I pray every day I'll find a way
           Am7                        F
To pass it on to these children of my own
F
A little secondhand smoke
F
A little secondhand smoke
