Now, (D major) Smackwater Jack
He bought a shotgun (G/D) (D major)
'Cause he was in the mood
For a little confrontation (G/D) (D major)
He just a-let it all hang loose
He didn't (G7) think about the noose
He couldn't (A major) take no more abuse (G major)
So he shot down the congregation (D major) (G/D) (D major)
