Official SMITHEREENS Tablature & Sheet Music »
From: Randy Schaar <rs8527@pegasus.cc.ucf.edu>
Here's a song from the Smithereens, ESPECIALLY FOR YOU album. This is
indeed my first time posting so if y'all got any comments, please tell me
before i get into a bad habit! Like I said, I'm really clueless so if
this winds up in pub/guitar/s/smithereens I would be most gracious!
Cigarette
(intro)
G//|D//|E//|F#//|
(verse1)
a E G D
smoked my last cigarette, sat in bed for a while,
F C D E
thought of your face and that brought me a smile,
a E G D
wanted another one, fell back asleep instead,
F C D E
woke and found you sitting there on the bed
(chorus)
G D A E
cigarette, cigarette, burning up time.
G D A E
cigarette, cigarette, watch the smoke climb.
G D A E
cigarette, cigarette, wasting away...
G D A E
just like this cigarette, our time is running down,
G D E F#
only one hour 'til you're leavin' this town.
(bridge)
G D A E
ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
G D A E
ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
G D A E
just like this cigarette, our time is running down,
G D E F#
only one hour 'till you're leavin' this town.
(verse2)
walked to the corner store, bought us another pack,
held my arm 'round you as we headed back.
I tried to change your mind, didn't want you to go,
I love you more, I think, than you will ever know.
(repeat chorus)
(coda)
smoked one last cigarette, sat in bed for a while,
thought of your face and that brought me a smile...

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official SMITHEREENS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
