Another Puff - Jerry Reed
Chords: G - C - A7 - D7
[Verse I]
G C
I know there's a lotta talk going around today
A7 D7
About cigarette smoking whittling your life away
G C
I've seen it and I've heard it so many times
A7 D7
That finally it just started to prey on my mind
G C
I guess it scared me a little bit
A7 D7
That's why I decided I was gonna quit
G C
So while I was sitting here forming my battle plan
A7 D7
I took another puff and turned on the fan
G C
I just sat there in my easy chair
A7 D7
And thought of all the money I'd wasted on cigarettes all these years
G C
I thought how I'd spend the rest of my days
A7 D7
After I kick this habit my body craves
G C
Said to myself this ain't gonna be so tough
A7 D7
With that little bit of assurance
(No chord)
I took another puff
G C A7 D7
I took a puff, a puff, then I ripped off another puff
G C
I decided I'd about had about enough
A7 D7
That breaking this habit won't be too tough
[Verse II]
G C
Now I've give a lot of thought to this thing
A7 D7
If I didn't smoke cigarettes I'd feel just like a king
G C
Besides with the price going up every day
A7 D7
I knew I was just throwing all my good money away
G C
You know I ain't lit one in an hour or so?
A7 D7
Just wanted to make sure I could quit you know
G C
I was thinking maybe I oughta write all this down
A7 D7
Put it in a song kinda circulate it around
G C
Can't ever tell it might make a hit
A7 D7
And that redneck Hall did a little bit
G C
Can you imagine me a hit songwriter!
A7 D7
Now where's... Where'd I put that cigarette lighter?
G C
After all it's a habit and a habit you can break
A7 D7
Just a little bit of willpower son that's all it takes
I said to myself you got to be tough!
A7 D7
And with that little bit of wisdom
(No chord)
I took another puff
G C
I took a puff, and then a puff,
A7 D7
then I finally ripped off another puff
G C
And I decided boy this ain't gonna be tough
A7 D7
Besides I'd just about had enough
[Verse III]
G C
I'm about ready to quit this rotten habit anyway
G C A7 D7
Oh I think they ought to take it offa television
A7 D7
It looks too good! Ow!
G C A7 D7
I like them skinny ones with the filter
G C A7 D7
Oh give it to me! Give it to me!
G C A7 D7
Cigarettes... I say if I quit smoking what'll I do?
G C
Maybe I'll eat
A7 D7

G C A7 D7

A7 D7
Oh my throat's scratchin', oh
G C
I wish I could think of something bad to say about cigarettes
A7 D7
Boo on cigarettes,
G C

A7 D

G C
I love it I love it, no I don't love cigarettes ya know
A7 D7
Don't misunderstand me I hate cigarettes
G C
Makes ya cough, and when ya don't smoke it makes ya shake
A7 D7
I don't know what's worse, the shake or the cough
G C A7 D7
I think I'll make me a coughshake, oh!
G C

A7 D7
Oh I remember one time I quit smoking
G C

A7 D7

G C A7 D7
