Put Another Log on the Fire
written by Shel Silversteen
NOTE: Sounds best if you use barre chords. The song's played on a banjo, it sounds
like, but if you wanna get it close, play these chords:
A = 577655
E = x76454
D = x57775
Or you could slap a capo on IV, and play:
A = F
E = C
D = Bb
INTRO: A
A
Put another log on the fire
E
Cook me up some bacon and some beans
Go out to the car and change the tires
A
Warsh my socks and sew my old blue jeans, come on baby
A
Yeah you can fill my pipe and fetch my slippers
D
And boil me up another pot of tea
A
Go put another log on the fire
E/ A
Then come and tell me why you're leavin' me
A
Don't I let you warsh my car on Sunday
E
Don't I warn you when you're gettin' fat
Ain't I gonna take you fishin' someday
A
Hell a man can't love a woman more than that
A
Ain't I always nice to your kid sister
D
Don't I take her drivin' every night
A
So set here at my feet, 'cause I love it when you're sweet
E/ A
And you know it ain't feminine to fight
A
So put another log on the fire
E
Go cook me up some bacon and some beans
Go out to the car and lift it up and change the tire
A
Warsh my socks and sew my old blues jeans, come on baby
A
You can fill my pipe then go fetch my slippers
D
And boil me up another pot of tea
A
Go put another log on the fire, babe
E/ A
Then come and tell me why you're leavin' me
