Theme from Smokey & the Bandit

February 26th, 2008 Tabbed by zymeck 4 Comments

Hello

I just love songs about illegally transporting large amounts of alcohol from one side of america to the other, being chased by police, and CB radios.
In my mind – this is one of the best!

Its the Theme from Smokey & the Bandit, aka….

East Bound and Down

The song was recorded by Jerry Reed, the bloke who played “Snowman” in the film, and it got to Number 2 in 1977.

enjoy

    Jerry Reed is also the guitar player on the original. Please note the sweet chicken pickin’.
    Actually this is an almost penultimate example of form.

    Haha!

    I haven’t seen the movie, but the song is in the brilliant programme “My Name Is Earl”

    I love this song!

    Thanks

    i’m confused doesnt penultimate mean next to last as in bad? i love all the work every player put into making this music for us to enjoy.
    penultimate
    adj : next to the last; “the author inadvertently reveals the
    murderer in the penultimate chapter”; “the figures in
    the next-to-last column” [syn: {next-to-last}]
    n : the next to last syllable in a word [syn: {penult}, {penultima}]
