[C]Thanks and praises
[F]Thanks to [C]Jesus
I bet on the [F]Bottle of [C]Smoke
[C]I went to hell
And [F]to the [C]races
To bet on the [F]Bottle of [C]Smoke
[F]The day being clear
[C]The sky being bright
He [F]came up on the [G]left
Like a [C]streak of light
Like a [C]drunken f**k
On a [F]Saturday [C]night
Up came the [F]Bottle of [C]Smoke
[F]Twenty f**king [C]five to one
Me [C]gambling days are [F]done
I [F]bet on a horse called the [C]Bottle of Smoke
[F]And my [G]horse [C]won
Am G Am G Am over instrumental part
Stewards inquiries
Swift and fiery
I had the Bottle of Smoke
Inquisitions and suppositions
I had the Bottle of Smoke
f**k the stewards
A trip to Lourdes
Might give the old f**kers
The power of sight
Screaming springers and stoppers
And call out coppers
But the money still gleams in my hand like a light
Am G Am G Am over instrumental part
Am Am C G Am G Am over other instrumental part
Am G Am G Am over instrumental part
Bookies cursing
Cars reversing
I had the Bottle of Smoke
Glasses steaming
Vessels bursting
I had the Bottle of Smoke
Slip a fifty to the wife
And for each brat a crisp new five
To give me a break on a Saturday night
When I had the Bottle of Smoke
Priests and maidens
Drunk as pagans
They had the Bottle of Smoke
Sins forgiven and celebrations
They had the Bottle of Smoke
f**k the Yanks
And drink their wives
The moon is clear
The sky is bright
I'm happy as the horses sh*te
Up came the Bottle of Smoke
