[G] John Habor died 
In the [Am7] fire up above the [G] IGA
All the other tenants [C] Made it out to [Am7] safety

[G]Back to work at seven [C] 
He had some drinks and went to bed
The [G] firemen said they found him dead
[C] Sometime around 9: [Am] 30

The [C] doctor said as the [Am7] ambulance drove away
He [G] died in his sleep, there was [C] no pain
The [Cm] fire chief said, they [Am7] found him in bed
It was the [G] smoke that killed him
Not the [Am] flames

[G] John Habor and I
Worked [Am7] together in the card room
We used to [G] share cigarettes
Near the [C] open window on the [Am7]stair

[G] Stick you head out to the fresh air
Take a [Am7] drag and watch the river
Some[G] times that river moves so slow
You [C] could see it] passing [Am7by

The [C] doctor said as the [Am7] ambulance drove away
He [G] died in his sleep, there was [C] no pain
The [Cm] fire chief said, they [Am7] found him in bed
It was the [G] smoke that killed him
Not the [Am] flames

And [G]  it was just two weeks ago
John and [Am7]  I were out drinkin?
Both [G]  of us sitting flush
With pleanty [C]  overtime on our c[Am7]  heck

And [G]  just before he started slurring
He said I [Am7]  don?t know how it happened
But it [G]  seems what I want 
Has drifted [C]  from what I now [Am7]  expect

The [C] doctor said as the [Am7] ambulance drove away
He [G] died in his sleep, there was [C] no pain
The [Cm] fire chief said, they [Am7] found him in bed
It was the [G] smoke that killed him
Not the [Am] flames
