Burning a little garbage in an old coal oil barrel

Southeast wind...

Flames....

Soon the whole of Huntsville is in peril
Verses are the same throughout.
Chorus:
G
From the banks of the Muskoka
D Em C
We watched as the smoke and the flames laid Huntsville low
G D
If you took all the tears that we shed on that pier
Em C
You'd think we could've put that fire out but no
G D G
We just stood and watched that little town go.
Bridge:
C Em C G
You know that fire can tear a town apart
C Em C D
Don't let that fire break Huntsville's heart
Interlude: Em C
Then a last chorus finishes it off.
