A Man Needs Cooling (Girl) (Slow sexy spoken intro) Ebmaj7 Bbmaj7 repeat Hey girl. It’s time to be honest. It’s too late for anything else. The way you’ve walked over to me… I can believe That you like what you see. And it’s not that I feel blase But I have a very VERY pressing matter to take away. Hey HEY Verse section Ebmaj7 Bbmaj7 F Gm7 Bb Girl… I’ve been looking at you from across the room Ebmaj7 Bbmaj7 F Gm7 Bb From the corner of my eye so I wouldn’t look crude Ebmaj7 Bbmaj7 F Gm7 Bb But when you looked at me I got a little bit nervous. Ebmaj7 Bbmaj7 Girl… When a man likes what he sees his temperature climbs a hundred degrees F Gm7 Bb Ebmaj7 He needs coolin Girl… I was breaking out in a sweat I just had to get my throat wet I needed water to quench the fires you lit in me. I am burning. Girl… When you looked away I got me a two gallon jar and I drank it all down. And I believe it got steamy Oh So Steamy Girl…. Now you’re approaching me as I’m turning to flee. There’s a man I have to see about a dog In the men’s room. (Pre-chorus) Ebmaj7 Girl… There’s a question in your eye. What’s up with this guy? Bbmaj7 (last chord comp x 5) What is he doing? Chorus No chord Eb Bb I’m trying to be cool while my bladder is full Bb Eb Bb I’m jiggling my thighs while meeting your eyes Bb Eb F It’s a hop to the left a slide to the right Ab Bb Like I’m dancing I’m dancing I’m dancing Alright! Bridge Ab Bb Mmmmm…. This queue ain’t getting no shorter. Ab Bb Oooohhh….. Why did I drink so much water? Ab Bb Ahhhhhh…. I got to keep it nice. Ab Bb Ooooohhh… I got to hold it tight! (or you’ll leave) Chorus x 2 as outro to end. I’m trying to be cool While my bladder is full I’m jiggling my thighs While meeting your eyes It’s a hop to the left A slide to the right Like I’m dancing I’m dancing I’m dancing Alright! I’m trying to be cool While my bladder is full I’m jiggling my thighs While meeting your eyes It’s a hop to the left A slide to the right Like I’m dancing I’m dancing I’m dancing Alright!

FIRE IN MY FLUE Reggae sort of Ross Hannaford feel Intro: Single note a c Dm Am G Bbmaj7 Cmaj7 x 2 Verse 1 Dm Am G Bbmaj7 Cmaj7 I didn't know why I'd break down and cry in the middle of conversation. Dm Am G Bbmaj7 Cmaj7 You wouldn't say its true but now we blue in negotiation. Dm Am G Bbmaj7 Cmaj7 I didn't want it like this. Is this the kiss of separation? Dm Am G Bbmaj7 Cmaj7 You want it too, fire in my flue, raging conflagration. Chorus F Gm You'll go down that road F I'm on my own. Gm And you'll grow F I'll stay the same Gm And you'll change F Don't go away Gm It's not so strange Don't wanna stay the... Verse 2 Same day after day, the ebb and the sway of visitation. Don't, or maybe won't give up my own anticipation. Of blame, it's still the same bitterness of flame for dissipation. You'll want it too, fire in my flue, raging conflagration. Chorus F Gm Am Gm Bb C descending bass run. F Gm You'll go down that road F I'm on my own. Gm And you'll grow F I'll stay the same Gm And you'll change Am Don't go away Gm It's not so strange. Am But the fire it burns Gm It warms you through Am And it hurts Bb C c bb a g Dm As good things do. You'll see the truth of the fire in your flue. Guitar solo over verse structure Chorus and end You'll go down that road I'm on my own. And you'll grow I'll stay the same And you'll change Don't go away It's not so strange. But the fire it burns It warms you through And it hurts As good things do You'll see the truth of the fire in your flue.
