The Fireman's Not For Me Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Come all you young maidens,
take a warning [D]from [G]me.
Shun all ancient firemen
[C]an d their [D]company.
He'll tell [G]you he loves you
[C]in all kinds [D]of lies.
[G]But the one that he loves
is [D]the train that he [G]drives.
I once loved a fireman
and he [D]said he loved [G]me.
He took me out walkin' into [C]the country
[D]He [G]hugged me and kissed me,
en[C]gaged in my eyes
[D]And [G]said, you're as nice as the [D]845[G][D]
He [G]said, my dear Molly,
[D]just say you'll be [G]mine
Just give me the signal
an[C]d let's clear the [D]line
My [G]fires, they are burning,
my steam, [C]it is high
[D]If you[G] don't take the brakes off,
I think [D]I will d[G]ie.
I gave him this answer,
saying [D]don't be [G]supreme,
for no local fireman
shall [C]ever have me.
[D]He'll tak[G]e all your love,
and then [C]when you're [D]in need,
he [G]races away at the top of his speed.
A sailor comes home
when his [D]voyage [G]is done.
A soldier gets weary [D]of [C]following [D]the drum,
A [G]collier will cleave to his [C]loved one [D]for life,
But a [G]fireman's one love
is the [D]en gine his wife.
