[Intro 1]
[C][Em][Esus4][D][Dsus4]
[C][Em][D][Dsus4]

[Verse 1]
I [C]saw you from the tractor
The harvest had begun
You were [Em]the love child of two gods
I was [D]the farmers [Dsus4]awk ward son

[Verse 2]
You [C]left Mount Olympus
To find your soul mate
I left a scribbled [Em]note, quote
"Dear Pa,
this here [D]harvest [Dsus4]can wait"

[Verse 3]
[Am]You took a m[D]atch to my
[Em]dry August d[Am]ays
Cornfield [Dsus4]ablaze, c[D]orn[Em]field abla[D]ze
[Am]Flames licked the [D]sky
That was [Em]some summer [Am]haze

[Verse 4]
[Am]Cornfield [C]ablaze, [D]cor[Em]nfield abl[D]aze
[Am]How do I l[D]ove you?
Let [Em]me count the w[Am]ays
[Em][Esus4][Am]
Cornfield ablaze
[Em][Esus4][Em][Am]

[Verse 5]
[C]Pa don't be angry
The fields that were host
To the [Em]corn and the wheat
[D]The fact [Dsus4]is they're toast

[Verse 6]
[C]In self defense
I'm obliged to point out
There'll always [Em]a risk of combustion
[D]When there's [Dsus4]been a drought

[Verse 7]
[Am]You took a m[D]atch to my
[Em]dry August d[Am]ays
Cornfield [Dsus4]ablaze, c[D]orn[Em]field abla[D]ze
[Am]Flames licked the [D]sky
That was [Em]some summer [Am]haze

[Verse 8]
[Am]Cornfield [D]ablaze, [Em]cornfield [D]ablaze
[Am]How do I l[D]ove you?
Let [Em]me count the w[Am]ays
[Esus4][Am]

[Interlude 1]
Cornfield ablaze
[Em][Am][D]

[Verse 9]
Imagine [Em]if the firemen w[C]orked
And worked [D]for [C]day[Dsus4]s[D]
And still the [Em]cornfield stayed ablaze

[Interlude 2]
[C][Em]
[Esus4][Em][Esus4][Em][D][Dsus4]

[Verse 10]
Her [C]hair it was golden
Her hair it was yarn
We were [Em]playing with fire
In [D]the number [Dsus4]one barn

[Verse 11]
[Dsus4]Car ried [C]away like two sparks
On a breeze
Then we [Em]fused into one
At a [D]thousand [Dsus4]degrees

[Verse 12]
[Am]You over[D]whelmed agri
[Em]cultural [Am]man
Cornfield [C]ablaze, [D]cor[Em]nfield abl[D]aze
You [Am]wild [D]pyr[Em]omaniac daughter
of [Am]Pan
Cornfield [C]ablaze, [D]cor[Em]nfield abl[D]aze

[Verse 13]
[Am]You took a s[D]carecrow
And [Em]made him a [Am]man[Em][Esus4][Em][Esus4][Am][Em]
