 Intro  -> -  (with lead line)
 
 When the night  is cold and the hours  are long,
 I think  upon good times now long since gone,
 But no  memory pleases me more  to recall,
 Than the night  that dear Willy came out  on a crawl
  (stop
 He was eighteen for a few hours more,
 I fed  him some whisky as he walked through my door
 The sounds  of a house-party rolled  down the street
 So we pounded  a Pilsner and leapt  to our feet.
 Oh he had  his filling
 Tequila  swilling
 Oh he put  out the flames
 And it earned  him the name
Fire  Marshall Willy
 Oh we led him away to the depths of the house
 With Jose Cuervo and Old Famous Grouse
 He took 15 shots in the blink of an eye
 Fell onto the porch by the BBQ side
 And they told him just sit down instead
 Do touch that extinguisher shiny and red
 But William was drunk as I've ere seen a man
 And so the insanity surely began
 Oh he had his filling
 Tequila swilling
 Oh he put out the flames
 And it earned him the name
 Fire Marshall Willy HO!
 Intro B chords -> solo (all right Willy!) Intro B chords -> solo
 Aw, 10 minutes later he flashed me a smile
 There wasn't combustion within 20 miles
 He'd hosed every chap in the whole fucking place
 And threw his cold water right in Chelsea's face
 When the night  is cold  and the hours  are long,
 I think  about good times now long since gone,
 But no  memory gives me more  pleasure than
  (extra  bar of )
 Than the night that dear Willy became a new man
 Oh he had his filling
 Tequila swilling
 Oh he put out the flames
 And it earned him the name
 Fire Marshall Willy
 Oh he had his filling } just bass and
 Tequila swilling } accordion
 Oh he put out the flames
 And it earned him the name
 Fire Marshall Willy
 Oh he put  out the flames
 And it earned  him the name
Fire Mar-shall  Willy HO!
