Volcano
By: J.R. Robertson

Bb5 
Got my motor runnin'
Little girl, are you comin'
C5        Eb5             F5
Keep your candle burning bright

Bb5 
Soon as you are ready
Hold that ladder steady
C5         Eb5                Bb5
Come tread softly through the night

Chorus:
Eb5             Ab5  
Don't leave me in the dark
       Eb5                 Bb5
Like a ghost rider in your yard

Eb5          Ab5            C5             F5
Carving are names in bark along the boulevard

I'd be a bushwhacker
Even be your hijacker
Keep your candle burning bright

When we cross that railroad track
There'll be no turning back
Come tread softly through the night

Don't leave me sitting here
Up on top of your fence
I'm like an alley cat up here, without a lick of sense
Bb5        Eb5          Bb5
Volcano--I'm about to blow
Volcano--Gonna overflow
Volcano--Look out below

Don't leave me empty-handed
Like a villain in the woods
Prowling around the grounds, trying to make off with the goods

Volcano--I'm about to blow
Volcano--Gonna overflow
Volcano--Look out below
