[Verse 1]
[G]Debonair [F]lullabies in melodies re[G]vealed
In [G]deep despair or [F]lonely nights
He knows just how you [G]feel
The [G]slyest rhymes, the [F]sharpest suits
In miracles [G]made real

[Pre-chorus 1]
Like a [Em]bird in flight on a [F]hot sweet night
You [Em]know you're right just to [F]hold her tight
He [Em]soothes it right, makes it [F]out of sight
And [Em]everything's good in the [F]world tonight

[Chorus 1]
When [G]smokey [C]sings,[F][C]
I hear [G]violins[C][F][C]
When [G]smokey [C]sings,[F][C]
I forget [G]every[C]thing[F][C]
As she's [G]packing her [C]things
As [F]she's spreading her [C]wings
The [G]front door might [C]slam
But [F]the back door it [C]rings
And [G]smokey [C]sings, [F]he [C]sings
[G][C][F][C]

[Verse 2]
[G]Elegance in [F]eloquence for sale or rent or [G]hire
Should [G]I say yes, I m[F]atch his best
Then I would be a [G]liar
[G]Symphonies [F]soothe the rage
When lovers hearts [G]catch fire

[Pre-chorus 2]
Like a [Em]bird in flight on a [F]hot sweet night
You [Em]know you're right just to [F]hold her tight
He [Em]soothes it right, makes it [F]out of sight
And [Em]every thing's good in the [F]world tonight

[Chorus 2]
When [G]smokey [C]sings,[F][C]
I hear [G]violins[C][F][C]
When [G]smokey [C]sings,[F][C]
I forget [G]every[C]thing[F][C]
As she's [G]packing her [C]things
As [F]she's spreading her [C]wings
[G]Smashing the [C]hell
With [F]the heaven she [C]brings
Then [G]smokey [C]sings, [F]he [C]sings
[G][C][F][C]
(But if he [G]couldn't [F]sing)[G]

[Verse 3]
[G]Luther [F]croons
Sly's the origi[G]nal originator
[G]James scr[F]eams
Marvin was the [G]only innovator
[G]But not[F]hing can compare,
nothing can compare
[G]When smokey sings

[Chorus 3]
When [G]smokey [C]sings,[F][C]
I hear [G]violins[C][F][C]
When [G]smokey [C]sings,[F][C]
I forget [G]every[C]thing[F][C]
As she's [G]packing her [C]things
As [F]she's spreading her [C]wings
She [G]threw back the [C]ring[F][C]
When [G]smokey [C]sings[F][C]
[G]Smokey [C]sings[F][C]
[G]Smokey [C]sings[F][C][G]
