[Verse]
GSmokey had a gambling problem
GGod bless his soul
FHe'd take all his rocks and shCake 'em up and hGope they'd turn into pearls.
GPearl was at home
GTaking care of their three kids
Like Fa weed out in the garden that chCoked the life right out of Gthem
[Chorus]
Take it eCasy, Take it sGlow
One more dDrink, One more rGoad
Won't you sCit around as it sGlowly burns aDway
Ain't nothing chCanged
It's going up in fGlames
GIt was early December
GAnd it turned out cold
Smokey Fbought him a fifth of TuCrkey and heaGded on down to the boats
GDidn't take him an hour
GTo burn three grand
Jumped rFight out of the oven and rCight up into that ol' fGrying pan
[Chorus]
Take it eCasy, Take it sGlow
One more dDrink, One more rGoad
Won't you sCit around as it sGlowly burns aDway
Ain't nothing chCanged
It's going up in fGlames
[Verse]
GSmokey stumbled in next morning
GFell face down on the floor
FPearl and the kids were gCone, there was a nGote hanging on the door
GHe took out one last cigarette
GStruck one last match
Watched the Fhouse goin down around hCim as he toGok in one last draft
[Chorus]
Take it eCasy, Take it sGlow
One more dDrink, One more rGoad
Won't you sCit around as it sGlowly burns aDway
Ain't nothing chCanged
It's going up in fGlames

[Verse]

Smokey had a gambling problem

God bless his soul

F C G

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

Pearl was at home

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

Ain't nothing changed

It's going up in flames

It was early December

And it turned out cold

F C G

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

Didn't take him an hour

To burn three grand

F C G

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

[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

Ain't nothing changed

It's going up in flames

[Verse]

Smokey stumbled in next morning

Fell face down on the floor

F C G

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

He took out one last cigarette

Struck one last match

F C G

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

[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

Ain't nothing changed

It's going up in flames
