Intro: A

Verse:
      A                           D                  A
Well, way out in the country is a real fine place to be,
A                                   E7
barreling down some backroad in god knows where Tennessee.
A                            D                 A
Mighty reds illegal there to smoke that sticky green.
          A                                 E7             A
I’m gonna need to be real careful fore that officer busts me.

Chorus:
            D                                   A
And I said: sir, now don’t you know it’s just a long green cigarette.
           A                                      E7
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                          E7              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                                  E7
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                                  E7           A      A7
Well, Iʼd spend my next few years sat in the county institute.

Chorus:
            D                                   A
And I said: sir, now don’t you know it’s just a long green cigarette.
           A                                      E7
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                          E7              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                                    E7                 E7
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,
                                         E7                 A    A7
if you’re smoking and a drinking on some Tennessee backroad.

Chorus:
            D                                   A
And I said: sir, now don’t you know it’s just a long green cigarette.
           A                                      E7
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                          E7              A
Said me oh my oh me it’s just a long green cigarette,
       E7              A             E7                   A    E7  A  E7  A
