The Cigar Song

• C

Intro: C  G  D (x2) 
 
Verse 1: 
           D           C 
Well I'm a sucker for fine Cuban cigars 
G                       D 
The problem is I can't afford em 
     D                          C 
But last year I went and got myself a whole box 
G                    D 
Just to be safe I insured em 
   A          G              D 
I took out a policy against fire and theft 
A       G          D 
Then I hurried on home 
       A        G            D     D/F#   G 
With a 50 cent lighter I sat on my back steps 
       C         G      D    
And I smoked em one by one 
 
C  G  D 
 
Verse 2: 
Two weeks later I went to see that insurance man 
And I handed him my claims 
With a straight face I told him that through a series of small fires 
They'd all gone up in flames  
They reviewed my case and they had no choice 
But to pay me for what I'd done 
I took that check bought a whole new box 
And I smoked em one by one 
 
 
Instrumental: C   G   D   D   C   G   A 
               
 
Verse 3: 
Two weeks later this detective shows up 
Tells me that company's pressing charges 
One speedy trial later they locked me up 
On 24 seperate counts of arson 
And now I sit and I stare at a blank brick wall 
Looking back on what I've done 
To pass the time I've got some 10 cent cigars 
And I smoke em one by one 
 
        C        G 
Yeah I smoke em one by one 
 
Outro: C  G  D (x2)
