Tom: D
D C
Well I'm a sucker for fine Cuban cigars
G D
The problem is I can't afford em
D C
But last year I went and got myself a whole box
G D
Just to be safe I insured em
A G D
I took out a policy against fire and theft
A G D
Then I hurried on home
A G D G
With a 50 cent lighter I sat on my back steps
C G D
And I smoked em one by one
[Interlude]
C G D
[Verse 2]
D C
Two weeks later I went to see that insurance man
G D
And I handed him my claims
D C
With a straight face I told him that through a series of small fires
G D
They'd all gone up in flames
A G D
They reviewed my case and they had no choice
A G D
But to pay me for what I'd done
A G D G
I took that check bought a whole new box
C G D
And I smoked em one by one
[Instrumental]
C G D C G A
[Verse 3]
D C
Two weeks later this detective shows up
G D
Tells me that company's pressing charges
D C
One speedy trial later they locked me up
G D
On 24 seperate counts of arson
A G D
And now I sit and I stare at a blank brick wall
A G D
Looking back on what I'd done
A G D G
To pass the time I've got some 10 cent cigars
C G D
And I smoke em one by one
C G
Yeah I smoke em one by one
