Cigar Song

          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    
With a 50 cent lighter I sat on 
        G
my back steps
      C         G      D
And I smoked em one by one

          D                        
Two weeks later I went to see that 
C
insurance man
G                   D
And I handed him my claims
D                                 
With a straight face I told him 
             C
that through a series of small fires
G                     D
They'd all gone up in flames
A                G        D
They reviewed my case and they had 
no choice
A                 G        D
But to pay me for what I'd done
A            G             D    
I took that check bought a whole
     G
 new box
C               G      D
And I smoked em one by one

[Verse 3]
          D          C
Two weeks later this detective shows
 up
G                                
Tells me that company's pressing 
D
charges
D                           C
One speedy trial later they locked 
me up
G                        D
On 24 seperate counts of arson
A                    G        D
And now I sit and I stare at a blank
 brick wall
A                    G    D
Looking back on what I'd done
A                G            D 
To pass the time I've got some 
     G
10 cent cigars
C              G      D
And I smoke em one by one

       C        G
Yeah I smoke em one by one
