Big smoke, standing in the mornin’  
                           A 
Big smoke, pointed at the sky

Big smoke, take away our brother 
 D               A              D 
Lift him up and show us how to fly 


 D 
Big smoke, louder than the thunder 
                             A 
Big smoke, taller than the storm 
Bm                            G 
Big smoke, rise above these troubles 
 D              A                D 
Lift us up and keep us safe and warm

And I don’t know why we ride on the flames 
        Em                     Bm 
‘Cause sometimes we’re riding blind  
 A                 G 
All I know is the future is waiting  
Em                   A 
Out there for us to find 


 D 
Big smoke, ten thousand years of building 
                             A 
Big smoke, all the careful plans  
Bm                    G 
Big smoke, good imagination 
 D              A              D 
Lifted by a billion steady hands 


    A                    G 
And I don’t know why we ride on the flames 
        Em                     Bm 
‘Cause sometimes we’re riding blind  
 A                 G 
All I know is the future is waiting  
Em                   A 
Out there for us to find 


 D 
Big smoke, no one says it’s easy 
                                  A 
Big smoke, more fragile than you seem 
Bm                           G 
Big smoke, carries precious cargo 
 D              A                D 
Show us how to live and how to dream

Oh, and big smoke carry precious cargo 
 D              A                D
