1st verse:

 C
There's trouble on the streets 
tonight, I can feel it in my bones,

 C
I had a premonition that I should 
not go alone,

 C
I knew the gun was loaded, but I 
didn't think he'd kill,

 C
everything exploded and the blood 
began to spill.

 F
So baby, here's your ticket, put 
this suitcase in your hand,

 F
Here's a little money, now do it 
just the way we planned,

 C
You be cool for twenty hours and 
I'll pay you twenty grand.

    G
I'm sorry it went down like this, 
someone had to lose,

         F
It's the nature of the business it's
 the smugglers' blues.

2nd verse:

 C
The sailors and the pilots, the 
soldiers and the law,

 C
the pay-offs, and the rip-offs, and 
the things nobody saw,

 C
No matter if it's heroin, or cocaine
 or hash,

 C
You've got to carry weapons 'cause 
you allways carry cash.

 F
There's lots of shady characters, 
lots dirty deals,

 F
every name's an alias in case 
somebody squeels,

          C
it's the allure of easy money that's
 got a very strong appeal.

              G
Perhaps you'd understand it better, 
standing in my shoes,

         F                         
It's the ultimate enticement, it's 
                     C
the smugglers' blues.

3rd verse:

 C
You see it in the headlines, you 
hear it everyday,

 C
They say they're gonna stop it, but 
it does not go away,

 C
They move it through Miami, they 
sell it in L.A.

 C
They hide it up, I'll tell ya right,
 I mean it's here to stay.

 F
Departments of the govenment in 
Columbia and Peru,

 F
You ask any D.A. man they'll tell ya
 there's nothing they can do,

         C
From the office of the President 
right down to me and you, me and 
you.

             G
Well it's a losing proposition, but 
one you can't refuse,

         F
It's the politics of contraban, it's
 the smugglers blues.
