Intro: D7 G7 C7 G7 Went to the movie matinee - To see the blue coats try to get away D7 G7 From a smoke signal -- Above the trees D7 G7 A smoke signal -- Shifting in the breeze G7 C7 G7 Some folks think it's make believe -- Other folks ain't so naive D7 G7 About a smoke signal -- Could see it coming D7 G7 A smoke signal -- Hear the drums drumming A7 You don't believe what you read in the paper G7 D7 You can't believe the stranger at your door A7 You don't believe what you hear from your neighbor G7 C7 D7 G7 Your old neighborhood ain't even there no more G7 C7 G7 Indian maid will plant the seed - And cultivate a whole new breed D7 G7 There's a smoke signal -- Over your head D7 G7 A smoke signal -- You know what it said? G7 C7 When they're torn out by the roots G7 Young brothers join in cahoots D7 G7 To send a smoke signal -- Near and far D7 G7 A smoke signal -- No matter where you are A7 You don't believe what they say on the radio G7 D7 You don't believe what you see on the video A7 Living in the shadow of a doubt today G7 C7 D7 Still waiting for the smoke to clear away (Robbie Jam) G7 C7 G7 Tried to get in touch with you - Tried to get my message through D7 G7 By smoke signal -- Honey, do ya read me? D7 G7 Smoke signal -- Call me if you need me G7 C7 There you were all in white G7 Standing out in the broad daylight D7 G7 Lookin' like a smoke signal -- From heaven above D7 G7 Smoke signal -- Oh, my love A7 You don't believe what you read in the paper G7 D7 You can't believe the stranger at your door A7 You don't believe what you hear from your neighbor G7 C7 D7 G7 Your old neighborhood ain't even there no more (Outro: Robbie Jam )
