[VERSE 1]
       E
I've known some women in every state

 A
New York City to the Golden Gate

      E                                      B      B7
I've lived with some, and buddy, I loved 'em all. (Yes, I did)

     E
But no one woman had a claim on me

       A
'Cause I still had a lotta world to see

       E                      B               E    E7
And I sometimes stagger, but sugar, I seldom fall.
[PRE-CHORUS]
             A
Then like a hungry man, I went to Louisiana

           E
Where the lovin' and the livin' was good

           A                                             E
Without a care to hide and just as satisfied as I could be.

         A
A lotta women and wine and not a tie to bind me

       E
And behaving just as cool as I could

           F#                                                
'Til that long legged, sweet walkin', ravenhaired and cajun-looking 

 B
Devil put the sweat on me.
[CHORUS]
                A
They call her Smokey, she's a little bit of evil

  E
Smokey, right as wrong can be.

  A
Smokey, she could shake the very devil

  E              B       E  A
Smokey put the sweat on me.

  E              B       E 
Smokey put the sweat on me.
[INTERLUDE] A E F# B [VERSE 2]
        E
Oh, my pulse is a beatin' to the clickety clack

         A
Of this one-way ride that's gonna take me back

        E                                                  B   B7
And my body's just a-breathin' in that Mississippi River smell

          E
Well, my feet wasn't ready yet for settling down

        A
But my soul kept tellin' me to turn around

         E                 B                      E   E7
And the longer I tried to fight it, the harder I fell
[PRE-CHORUS]
            A
And like a hungry man, I'm goin' to Louisiana

           E
Where the lovin' and the livin' is good

             A                                           E
I'll get a brand new bride and be as satisfied as I can be

            A
And I won't even mind the world I'm leavin' behind

           E
Because I never really thought that I could

           F#                                                
'Til that long legged, sweet walkin', ravenhaired and cajun-looking 

 B
Devil put the sweat on me.
[CHORUS]
                A
They call her Smokey, she's a little bit of evil

  E
Smokey, right as wrong can be.

  A
Smokey, she could shake the very devil

  E              B       E  A
Smokey put the sweat on me.

  E              B       E  A
Smokey put the sweat on me

        E              B       E  A
Awww, Smokey put the sweat on me.
