B5 E5 Thanks and praises, thanks to Jesus F#5 B5 I bet on the Bottle of Smoke B5 E5 I went to hell and to the races F#5 B5 To bet on the Bottle of Smoke B5 E5 The day being clear, the sky being bright F#5 B5 He came up on the left like a streak of light B5 E5 Like a drunken fuck on a Saturday night F#5 B5 Up came the Bottle of Smoke
[Chorus]
B5 E5 Twenty-fucking-five to one F#5 B5 Me gambling days are done B5 E5 I bet on a horse called the Bottle of Smoke F#5 B5 And my horse won
[Verse 2]
B5 E5 Stewards inquiries, swift and fiery F#5 B5 I had the Bottle of Smoke B5 E5 Inquisitions and suppositions F#5 B5 I had the Bottle of Smoke B5 E5 Fuck the stewards, a trip to Lourdes F#5 B5 Might give the old fuckers the power of sight B5 E5 Screaming springers and stoppers and call out coppers F#5 B5 But the money still gleams in my hand like a light
[Chorus]
