Verse 1:
G+G       C majorC
 They call him "Smoky"
        E minorEm
Some old movie reference
    FF        A minorAm        G+G
And the type of whiskey in his coke never made no difference
      C majorC
No college degree
           E minorEm
He wasn't one for academics
  FF       A minorAm         G+G
So he went off to trade school, became a paramedic
        C majorC
Ended up on the rigs,
         E minorEm
Tending to their cuts
FF          A minorAm    G+G
Six months outta the year, away from us

Chorus:
   FF       C majorC      G+G
And I never understood him, til now
  FF       C majorC          G+G
How he could show all that love, when he aint around

Instrumental:
C majorC E minorEm FF A minorAm G+G

Verse 2:
          C majorC
Well, they call me "Cowboy"
      E minorEm
Not too sure why
   FF         A minorAm      G+G
Cause I don't know how to rope, never learned to ride
        C majorC
But here in New England
         E minorEm
That dont make any difference
    FF         A minorAm       G+G
Cause, "you got the funny accent, and the boots to go with it.

Chorus:
   FF       C majorC      G+G
And I never understood him, til now
  FF       C majorC          G+G
How he could show all that love, when he aint around
   FF      C majorC          G+G
Now I only get to see his face a few days a year,
   FF        C majorC      G+G
But I wouldn't be the man I am without his care

Outro:
           C majorC   E minorEm
Well, they call him, "Smoky"

FF A minorAm G+G
        C*
They call him, "Smoky"
