When the night [A]is cold and the hours are lon[D]g,
I t[E]hink upon good times now long since gone,
But no[A] memory pleases me more to recall,[Bm]
Than the night[Bm7] that dear Willy came out on a crawl[E]
A A(stop) D
He was eighteen for a few hours more,
I f[E]ed him some whisky as he walked through my door
The sou[A]nds of a house-party rolled down th[Bm]e street
So we poun[Bm7]ded a Pilsner and leapt to ou[E]r feet.
Oh he had [A]his filling[D]
Tequ[E]ila swil[A]ling
Oh he put [F#m]out the flames
And it ear[Bm]ned him the name
[E]Fire Marshall Will[A]y
Oh we led him away to the depths of the house
With Jose Cuervo and Old Famous Grouse
He took 15 shots in the blink of an eye
Fell onto the porch by the BBQ side
And they told him just sit down instead
Do touch that extinguisher shiny and red
But William was drunk as I've ere seen a man
And so the insanity surely began
Oh he had his filling
Tequila swilling
Oh he put out the flames
And it earned him the name
Fire Marshall Willy HO!
Intro B chords -> solo (all right Willy!) Intro B chords -> solo
Aw, 10 minutes later he flashed me a smile
There wasn't combustion within 20 miles
He'd hosed every chap in the whole fucking place
And threw his cold water right in Chelsea's face
A A(stop) D
When the night is cold and the hours are long,
I [E]think about good times now long since gone,
But no[A] memory gives me more pleasure[Bm] then
Bm7 E E(extra bar of E)
Than the night that dear Willy became a new man
Oh he had his filling
Tequila swilling
Oh he put out the flames
And it earned him the name
Fire Marshall Willy
Oh he had his filling } just bass and
Tequila swilling } accordion
Oh he put out the flames
And it earned him the name
Fire Marshall Willy
Oh he put [F#m]out the flames
And it ea[Bm]rned him the name
[E]Fire Marshall Will[A]y HO!
