Intro

[D]*

Verse 1

[D]* [Dsus4] [D]

Now Smackwater Jack, he bought a shotgun

[D]* [Dsus4] [D]

Cause he was in the mood for a little confrontation

[D]

He just let it all hang loose

[G]

He didn't think about the noose

[A] [G]

He couldn't take no more abuse

[D] [D6] [D7] [D6] [Dsus4] [D]

So he shot down the congregation

Chorus

[A] [Bm]

You can't talk to a man

[A] [D] [G]

With a shotgun in his hand

N.C D*

Shotgun

Verse 2

[D]* [Dsus4] [D]

Now Big Jim the chief stood for law and order

[D]* [Dsus4] [D]

He called for the guard to come and surround the border

[D]

Now from his bulldog mouth

[G]

As he led the posse south

[A]

Came the cry, we got to ride

[G] [D] [D6] [D7] [D6] [Dsus4] [D]

Clean up the streets for our wives and our daughters

Chorus

[A] [Bm]

You can't talk to a man

[A] [D] [G]

When he don't want to understand

[D]*

No, no, no, no, no, no

Instrumental

[D]*

Verse 3

[D]* [Dsus4] [D]

The account of the capture wasn't in the papers

[D]* [Dsus4] [D]

But you know, they hanged ole Smack right then instead of later

[D]

You know the people were quite pleased

[G]

Cause the outlaw had been seized

[A] [G]

And on the whole, it was a very good year

[D] [D6] [D7] [D6] [Dsus4] [D]

For the undertaker

Chorus

[A] [Bm]

You know, you know, you can't talk to a man

[A] [D] [G]

With a shotgun in his hand

[G]* [D]*

Shotgun in his hand

Outro

Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun

[D]*

Yeah, Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun

[D]*

Smackwater Jack, yeah

[D]*

Talkin' about Smackwater Jack, yeah

[D]*

Talkin' about Smackwater Jack, oh

[D]*

Talkin' about Jack and his shotgun

[D]*

[D] [Dsus4] [D]

Smackwater Jack, yeah
