A    Asus4         A
They called him a hero
        D            A
In the land of the free
        D                 A
But he wouldn't shake my hand, boy
         D       A
He disappointed me
     Asus4   A
So I got my handgun
        D        A
And I blew him away
       D            A
That critter was a bad guy
   D               A
I had to make him pay

 E                     A
You might fear for my reason
E                       A
I don't care what they say
 E7                       A
Look out, baby, it's the season
        G6       G
For the mad masquerade

Chorus:
             D  A
Put out the fire
             D  E A
Put out the fire!
             D  A
Put out the fire
            G             D           A
You need a weapon like a hole in the head
             D  A
Put out the fire
             D  E A
Put out the fire!
             D  A
Put out the fire
         G                          D
Don't believe what your granddaddy said

She was my lover
It was a shame that she died
But the constitution
Is right on my side
'Cause I caught my lover
In my neighbor's bed
I got retribution
Filled 'em all full of lead

I've been told it's the fashion
To let me on the streets again
It's nothing but a crime of passion
And I'm not to blame

Chorus:
Put out the fire
Put out the fire
Put out the fire
You need a weapon like a hole in the head
Put out the fire
Put out the fire, baby
Put out the fire
And let your sons and your daughters
sleep sound in their beds

            E                A
You know a gun never killed nobody
 E          A
You can ask anyone
 E                  A
People get shot by people
 G
People with guns

Chorus:
Put out the fire
Put out the fire
You need a gun like a hole in the head
Put out the fire
Put out the fire
Put out the fire
Just tell me that old fashioned gun law is dead
