N/A
Verse 1
G
D
G

Fireman Joe McGee,

who married in June,

wants to be free.
D
G

He bought a handsome love nest,
A

but his high -flying spouse
D
G

likes the firehouse.

She wears a crimson skirt,

a fireman's hat, red flannel shirt.
F#
Bm

Clang goes the bell and she's off,

boys,
A

in a cloud of confusion and dirt.
D
G

Oh, the fireman's ride,
C

the fireman's ride,
D
G

won't sit home by her fireside.

From all accounts,
C
D

she'd rather bounce in the
G

fireman's net.
F#

She leaps to the engine
Bm

and clings to the hose.
F#
E
F#
D

How she hangs on, nobody knows.
A

Out comes the net,
D

and then over she goes.
A
D

High up they throw her while she hollers,
G

More, the fireman's bride.
C

People confide
D
G

as the fireman's gongs collide.
C

High as a kite, ain't she a sight,
Am
D
G
F#
G

Naughty fireman's bride.

D
G

With his head bowed in grief,

McGee gave his badge

back to the chief.
D
G

Chief, he says, I'm resigning,
C#dim
A

but I'll donate my spouse
D

to the firehouse.
G

Then the chief said, of course,

we've never employed

girls on the force.
F#
Bm

But if you're throwing her out, son,
A
D

she can sleep in with me and my horse.
G

So the fireman's bride,
C

the fireman's bride
D
G

Hasn't got any fireside
C

But I believe she's got the cheat
D
G

Not to mention the force
F#

She runs up the ladder
Bm

and swings to the roof
F#
Bm

Holding her skirt to gain the aloof
A
D

Men, you remember, are not fireproof
A
D

They see what goes on and yell,

To obtain the hose
G

on the fireman's ride
C

The man on the hide
D
G

is extremely undignified
C
A
E

They leave a place waiting for days
D
G

Oh, the fireman's ride

  • 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.
