Thanks and praises
F C
Thanks to Jesus
F C
I bet on the Bottle of Smoke
C
I went to hell
F C
And to the races
F C
To bet on the Bottle of Smoke
F
The day being clear
C
The sky being bright
F G
He came up on the left
C
Like a streak of light
C
Like a drunken f**k
F C
On a Saturday night
F C
Up came the Bottle of Smoke
F C
Twenty f**king five to one
C F
Me gambling days are done
F C
I bet on a horse called the Bottle of Smoke
F G C
And my horse 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
