Up In Flames

G

Smokey had a gambling problem

G

God bless his soul

F C G

He'd take all his rocks and shake 'em up and hope they'd turn into pearls.

G

Pearl was at home

G

Taking care of their three kids

F C G

Like a weed out in the garden that choked the life right out of them

Chorus:

C G

Take it easy, Take it slow

D G

One more drink, One more road

C G D

Won't you sit around as it slowly burns away

C

Ain't nothing changed

G

It's going up in flames

G

It was early December

G

And it turned out cold

F C G

Smokey bought him a fifth of Turkey and headed on down to the boats

G

Didn't take him an hour

G

To burn three grand

F C G

Jumped right out of the oven and right up into that ol' frying pan

Chorus

(Solo)

G

Smokey stumbled in next morning

G

Fell face down on the floor

F C G

Pearl and the kids were gone, there was a note hanging on the door

G

He took out one last cigarette

G

Struck one last match

F C G

Watched the house goin down around him as he took in one last draft
