Verse 1
Em

Now, while we are discussing these home fires here,

let us clarify a few things and speak

of these fires in depth,

because evidently you are not receiving the true message I am

sending out here.

Now we do have two kinds of fires going on.

I have a fire, and you had a fire, because you see,

your fire has just about burned out.

It could be that you've been flicking your big

so much elsewhere until you done run out

of fuel.

I don't know this.

All I know is this house is cold.
G
Em

There haven't even been any

ashes in this fireplace recently.

And I am about to add a third fire here,

an outside fire.
G
Em

Now this fire has not yet started because I

thought you should know the consequences

of getting a fire started on the outside.

I am not talking about dropping a little

lit match somewhere on a wet day.

I am talking about burning down

a whole damn county.

Smokey the
G
Em

Bear would hate me after this.

Now only you can prevent

this farmer's fire.

You can start by getting

the fire started right here.

I don't mean just one of them little
G
Em

smoke signals going up,

cause your name ain't

Geronimo.

Now either you do this,

or there's going to be enough sparks flying around here till the

whole neighborhood goes to

think it's the 4th of

July, because I'm declaring

my independence.

My right for a man to offer me a

Tipperary law.

Oh yes, I'm going to be smoking.
G
Em

Now I know you don't want this to happen,
G

because once you get an outside fire started,
Em

you can't control it.

Every time you think you done about smothered it,
G
Em

a good gust of wind come

through and set that

Mickey
G

Fickie on fire again.
Em

And you could end up with
G
Em

a wildfire.

And wildfires do have a
G

tendency to spread.
Em

Oh no, don't think you can start a fire across
G
Em

town and it's gonna stay over there.
G

If you mess around and get burned, it's gonna beat you home,
Em

and ain't no need to tell your
D
G

old lady nothin' about it.
Em

I can't do nothin' this week, baby.
G
Em

I was liftin' somethin' down too heavy at the job,

and I got a strain.
G
Em

No, buddy, the strain gonna be on your ass,
G

cause you done messed around and let these
Em

outside fires reach your house.

And when an outside fire spread

all the way to your house,
D
Em

you wake up one morning and your house is on fire,
G
Em


building, collapsing down around your ass.

And you in trouble.

I ain't bullshitting.

You in trouble, boy.
G
Em

I'm talking about the heat is on.

The heat is on.

Mm -hmm.

Oh, yeah.

All the heat is gone.

And when that much heat

get in your house,

Niagara

Falls couldn't put that mickey pickey out.

And strange things starts

happening around the house.

And then you come home one day,
G
Em

lo and behold,
G
Em

There's a different kind of log in the fireplace,

a log bigger than yours, a longer log than
G
Em

yours, an d it just burns for hours,
G
Em

even after the log burn down the coal stay hot, then

you know you're ass in trouble

It's time for you to gather

your twig and split

Now I want to tell you something here
Em

This is what is about to

happen in our situation
Em
Em
Em

I've been checking out the logs in the neighborhood,
Em

nice logs, in fact there's a whole goddamn
Em
Em
Em

An d I am ready with my axe to
Em
Em

chop down that first tree I see, baby.
Em
Em

I want you to know this.
Em

So what I suggest you do here,
Em
Em
Em

if you want to keep these home fires burning, is do like
Em
G

they do when they go down town shopping if
Em
Em

you see something you want an d you
Em

don't have the money or it might be a

little too expensive or whatever the
Em

case is right now now ain't the time for you to
Em
Em

get it if you really want it you

oughta put in the layaway

  • 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.
