[Intro]
EBDAE
     (x2)
[Verse 1]
E                 D
Believe in me and send no money
  G                A               G
I died on the cross, that ain't funny
    E                                   D
But my so called friends they're making me a joke
            G                    A            G
They missed out what I said like I never spoke
     E                          D
They choose what they wanna hear, don't tell a lie
          G                              A            G
They just leave out the truth as they're watching you die
        E                   D
They're saving the souls by taking your money
G                  A           G
Flies around shit, bees around honey
[Chorus]
E           G
Holy Smoke, Holy Smoke
D                            A
Plenty bad preachers for the devil to stoke
E                      G
Feed 'em in feet first this is no joke
        D           A       G E     G        D A
This is thirsty work making Holy Smoke, yeah!
        E     G  D A
Making Holy Smoke
[Verse 2]
E                 D
Jimmy Reptile and all his friends
         G                 A         G
Say they gonna be with you at the end
E               D
Burning records, burning books
G             A          G
Holy soldiers, Nazi looks
E                 D
Crocodile smiles, just wait awhile
         G                 A            G
Till the TV Queen gets her make up clean
E                         D
I've lived in filth, I've lived in sin
      G                            A             G
And I still smell cleaner than the shit you're in
[Chorus]
E           G
Holy Smoke, Holy Smoke
D                            A
Plenty bad preachers for the devil to stoke
E                      G
Feed 'em in feet first this is no joke
        D           A       G E     G        D A

[Verse 3]
E                             D
They ain't religious but they ain't no fools
     G                       A      G
When Noah built his Cadillac it was cool
E                  D
Two by two they're still going down
        G                A             G
And the satellite circus just left town
E                           D
I think they're strange and when they're dead
G                       A            G
They can have a Lincoln for their bed
E                       D
Friend of the president, trick of the tail
         G                       A             G
Now they ain't got a prayer, one hundred years in jail
[Chorus]
E           G
Holy Smoke, Holy Smoke
D                            A
Plenty bad preachers for the devil to stoke
E                      G
Feed 'em in feet first this is no joke
        D           A       G E     G        D A
This is thirsty work making Holy Smoke, yeah!
     E     G  D A E
Holy Smoke            ...ahhhh
