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 🎸 Outro: F
