Verse:
      A#                           D#                  A#
Well, way out in the country is a real fine place to be,
A#                                   F
barreling down some backroad in god knows where Tennessee.
A#                            D#                 A#
Mighty reds illegal there to smoke that sticky green.
          A#                                 F             A#
I’m gonna need to be real careful fore that officer busts me.

            D#                                   A#
And I said: sir, now don’t you know it’s just a long green cigarette.
           A#                                      F
Well, I’ve see you smoke yourself you’ve got that box of Marlboro Reds.
      A#                       D#            A#
Ain’t nothing illegal ʼbout tobacco now is there.
     A#                          F              A#           A#
Said me oh my oh me it’s just a long green cigarette.

Verse:
          A#                             D#             A#
Well, the cop, he just wonʼt buy it, he hardly seems amused
     A#                                  F
and, frankly, I just hope he smells the pot and not the booze.
  A#                             D#           A#
Behind me in the seat sits 8 or 10-odd open brews.
          A#                                  F           A#      A#7
Well, Iʼd spend my next few years sat in the county institute.

           A#                                      F
Well, I’ve see you smoke yourself you’ve got that box of Marlboro Reds.
      A#                       D#            A#
Ain’t nothing illegal ʼbout tobacco now is there.
     A#                          F              A#
Said me oh my oh me it’s just a long green cigarette.

Verse:
       A#                          D#             A#
Though surely unconvinced the officer he let us go.
A#                                    F                 F
Friends, I’d say with certainty that this here goes to show.
A#                             D#              A#
Better hope the cop pulls you over is pretty slow,
                                         F                 A#    A#7
