CThanks and praises
FThanks to CJesus
I bet on the FBottle of CSmoke
CI went to hell
And Fto the Craces
To bet on the FBottle of CSmoke
FThe day being clear
CThe sky being bright
He Fcame up on the Gleft
Like a Cstreak of light
Like a Cdrunken fuck
On a FSaturday Cnight
Up came the FBottle of CSmoke
FTwenty fucking Cfive to one
Me Cgambling days are Fdone
I Fbet on a horse called the CBottle of Smoke
FAnd my Ghorse Cwon
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
Fuck the stewards
A trip to Lourdes
Might give the old fuckers
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
Fuck the Yanks
And drink their wives
The moon is clear
The sky is bright
I'm happy as the horses shite
Up came the Bottle of Smoke
