Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Well, April 1894

Out behind May's hardware store

Burning a little garbage in an old coal oil barrel

Southeast wind...

Flames....

Soon the whole of Huntsville is in peril

Verses are the same throughout.

Chorus

From the banks of the Muskoka

 We watched as the smoke and the flames laid Huntsville low

 If you took all the tears that we shed on that pier

 You'd think we could've put that fire out but no

 We just stood and watched that little town go.

Bridge

 You know that fire can tear a town apart

 Don't let that fire break Huntsville's heart

Interlude

Then a last chorus finishes it off.
