[Verse 1]
         A                     D
When the night is cold and the hours are long,
  E                                 
I think upon good times now long since gone,
    A                    Bm
But no memory pleases me more to recall,
         Bm7                        E
Than the night that dear Willy came out on a crawl

[Verse 2]
      A     A (stop)  D 
He was eighteen for a few hours more,
   E
I fed him some whisky as he walked through my door
    A                       Bm
The sounds of a house-party rolled down the street
      Bm7                      E
So we pounded our Pilsners and leapt to our feet.

[Chorus]
      A          D
Oh he had his filling
  E     A
Tequila swilling
      F#m
Oh he put out the flames
       Bm
And it earned him the name
E             A
Fire Marshall Willy

[Verse 3]
A                         D                   
Oh we led him away to the depths of the house
     E                                       
With Jose Cuervo and Old Famous Grouse
A                       Bm                     
He took 15 shots in the blink of an eye
Bm7                        E                    
Fell onto the porch by the BBQ side
         A             D                      
And they told him just sit down instead
      E                                      
Don't touch that extinguisher shiny and red
    A                         Bm           
But William was drunk as I've e'r seen a man
Bm7                 E                           
And so the insanity surely began

[Chorus]
      A          D
Oh he had his filling
  E     A
Tequila swilling
      F#m
Oh he put out the flames
       Bm
And it earned him the name
E             A
Fire Marshall Willy    HO!

              Alright Willy!

[Verse 4]
A                        D                    
Aw, ten minutes later he flashed me a smile
      E                                      
There wasn't combustion within twenty miles
     A                       Bm                
He'd hosed every chap in the whole fucking place
Bm7                               E             
And threw his cold water right in Chelsea's face

         A        A (stop)     D
When the night is cold and the hours are long,
  E
I think about good times now long since gone,
    A                  Bm
But no memory gives me more pleasure than
         Bm7                   E                  E (extra bar of E)
Than the night that dear Willy became a new man

[Chorus]
      A          D
Oh he had his filling
  E     A
Tequila swilling
      F#m
Oh he put out the flames
       Bm
And it earned him the name
E             A
Fire Marshall Willy

[Chorus]
      A          D
Oh he had his filling
  E     A
Tequila swilling
      F#m
Oh he put out the flames
       Bm
And it earned him the name
E             A
Fire Marshall Willy 
      F#m
Oh he put out the flames
       Bm
And it earned him the name
E      E           A
Fire   Mar-shall   Willy     HO!
