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

Two weeks later I went to see that insurance man
G                   D
And I handed him my claims
D                                              C
With a straight face I told him 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         G
I took that check bought a whole new box
C               G      D
And I smoked em one by one

          D          C
Two weeks later this detective shows up
G                                D
Tells me that company's pressing 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      G
To pass the time I've got some 10 cent cigars
C              G      D
And I smoke em one by one

       C        G
Yeah I smoke em one by one
