Smokin The Hive

Key: A

Introduction:

                   A 
                I was ten years old on my grandpa's farm when it happened
                                                                                                                 E 
                After all these years i can still hear grandpa laughin'
                             A 
                As he applied that barnyard remedy
                         D 
                He passed his wisdom down to me
                           A                                             E                                         A 
                You don't reach for the honey without smokin' the hive
Verse 2: (Clint Eastwood)
                   A 
                I remember my first crush was on the preacher's daughter
                                                                                                                                               E 
                We were smoochin' on the front porch swing that night when he caught her
                                       A 
                We weren't expectin' him home until quarter past ten
                                     D 
                When the good Lord taught me that lesson again
                           A                                             E                                         A 
                You don't reach for the honey without smokin' the hive
Chorus: (Randy Travis,Clint Eastwood)
           A                         D                                                                               A 
                You don't point your pistol before you check each chamber
                                   E                                                                               A 
                And you don't drink no you don't drink when you drive
                                     D                                                                       A         F#m 
                It's just ordinary common sense to avoid that danger
                           A                                             E                                         A 
                You don't reach for the honey without smokin' the hive
Verse 3: (Randy Travis,Clint Eastwood)
                   A 
                She rolled into town with rodeo,she was a beauty
                                                                                                               E 
                And that cowboy saw you wink at her,she was a cutie
                                             A 
                The sound of jinglin' spurs caught me dead on a run
                                 D 
                He was fit to be tied and you were under the gun
                           A                                             E                                         A 
                You don't reach for the honey without smokin' the hive
Chorus.
                                 A                                             E                                         A 
                No,you don't reach for the honey without smokin' the hive
