Fireman's Not For Me chords by
Ewan Maccoll
Ewan Maccoll

N/A
Verse 1
G

Come all you young maidens,
D
G

take a warning from me.

Shun all ancient firemen
C
D

and their company.
G

He'll tell you he loves you
C
D

in all kinds of lies.
G

But the one that he loves
D
G

is the train that he drives.

I once loved a fireman
D
G

and he said he loved me.
C

He took me out walkin' into the country
D
G

He hugged me and kissed me,
C
D

engaged in my eyes
G
D
G

And said, you're as nice as the 845

He said, my dear Molly,
D
G

just say you'll be mine

Just give me the signal
C
D

and let's clear the line
G
C

My fires, are burning, my steam, it is high
D
G

If you don't take the brakes off,
D
G

I think I will die.

I gave him this answer,
D
G

sayin' don't be supreme,

For no local fireman
C
D

shall ever have me.
G

He'll take all your lovin'
C
D

and when you're in need,
G
D
G

He races away at the top of his speed.

A sailor comes home
D

when his voyage is done,
G
D

A soldier gets weary of
C
D

following the drum,
G
D
C
D

A collier will cleave to his loved one for life,
G

But a fireman's one love
D

is the engine his wife.

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
