Capo III

[G+G] John Habor died
In the [Am7Am7] fire up above the [G+G] IGA
All the other tenants [C majorC] Made it out to [Am7Am7] safety

[G+G]Back to work at seven [C majorC]
He had some drinks and went to bed
The [G+G] firemen said they found him dead
[C majorC] Sometime around 9: [A minorAm] 30

The [C majorC] doctor said as the [Am7Am7] ambulance drove away
He [G+G] died in his sleep, there was [C majorC] no pain
The [C minorCm] fire chief said, they [Am7Am7] found him in bed
It was the [G+G] smoke that killed him
Not the [A minorAm] flames

[G+G] John Habor and I
Worked [Am7Am7] together in the card room
We used to [G+G] share cigarettes
Near the [C majorC] open window on the [Am7Am7]stair

[G+G] Stick you head out to the fresh air
Take a [Am7Am7] drag and watch the river
Some[G+G] times that river moves so slow
You [C majorC] could see it] passing [Am7by

The [C majorC] doctor said as the [Am7Am7] ambulance drove away
He [G+G] died in his sleep, there was [C majorC] no pain
The [C minorCm] fire chief said, they [Am7Am7] found him in bed
It was the [G+G] smoke that killed him
Not the [A minorAm] flames

And [G+G] it was just two weeks ago
John and [Am7Am7] I were out drinkin'
Both [G+G] of us sitting flush
With pleanty [C majorC] overtime on our c[Am7Am7] heck

And [G+G] just before he started slurring
He said I [Am7Am7] don't know how it happened
But it [G+G] seems what I want
Has drifted [C majorC] from what I now [Am7Am7] expect

The [C majorC] doctor said as the [Am7Am7] ambulance drove away
He [G+G] died in his sleep, there was [C majorC] no pain
The [C minorCm] fire chief said, they [Am7Am7] found him in bed
It was the [G+G] smoke that killed him
Not the [A minorAm] flames
