Chords:  G - C - A7 - D7


[Verse I]

G                 C
I know there's a lotta talk going around today
         A7                            D7
About cigarette smoking whittling your life away
G                 C
I've seen it and I've heard it so many times
         A7                            D7
That finally it just started to prey on my mind
G                 C
I guess it scared me a little bit
         A7                            D7
That's why I decided I was gonna quit
G                 C
So while I was sitting here forming my battle plan
         A7                            D7
I took another puff and turned on the fan
G                 C
I just sat there in my easy chair
         A7                            D7
And thought of all the money I'd wasted on cigarettes all these years
G                 C
I thought how I'd spend the rest of my days
         A7                            D7
After I kick this habit my body craves
G                 C
Said to myself this ain't gonna be so tough
A7                       D7
With that little bit of assurance
(No chord)
I took another puff
G            C                   A7             D7
I took a puff, a puff, then I ripped off another puff
G                 C
I decided I'd about had about enough
               A7                     D7
That breaking this habit won't be too tough

[Verse II]

G                 C
Now I've give a lot of thought to this thing
         A7                            D7
If I didn't smoke cigarettes I'd feel just like a king
G                 C
Besides with the price going up every day
         A7                            D7
I knew I was just throwing all my good money away
G                 C
You know I ain't lit one in an hour or so?
         A7                            D7
Just wanted to make sure I could quit you know

G                 C
I was thinking maybe I oughta write all this down
         A7                            D7
Put it in a song kinda circulate it around
G                 C
Can't ever tell it might make a hit
         A7                            D7
And that redneck Hall did a little bit
G                 C
Can you imagine me a hit songwriter!
         A7                            D7
Now where's... Where'd I put that cigarette lighter?
G                 C
After all it's a habit and a habit you can break
         A7                            D7
Just a little bit of willpower son that's all it takes

I said to myself you got to be tough!
         A7                            D7
And with that little bit of wisdom

(No chord)
I took another puff

G                 C
I took a puff, and then a puff,
         A7                            D7
then I finally ripped off another puff
G                 C
And I decided boy this ain't gonna be tough
         A7                            D7
Besides I'd just about had enough


[Verse III]

G                 C

G                 C            A7                            D7

G                 C            A7                            D7

G                 C            A7                            D7
Oh give it to me! Give it to me!
G                 C            A7                            D7

G                 C

G                 C            A7                            D7

A7                            D7
Oh my throat's scratchin', oh
G                 C
I wish I could think of something bad to say about cigarettes
