You heard
Old

Because of his pride. (F sharp major)
(C major) He had a price on his head and he wasn't satisfied,
so he had to make it grow.
(B flat major) Old
Smoke, (C major) he never gave an inch.
No man, white or black.
When

Park askin', you got anything to say?
Old
Smokey answer, (B flat major) I (F major) come here to die,
not to make speeches.
hm, ha, ha, ha, ha, (B flat major) ha, (F major) ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Hard times missin'.
Smoke! (Fdim)
Smoke, (F major) I thought he been another one (B flat major)
like (F major) you.
