Fire Maple Song Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Turn away from the pain you don't [D]want
Turning down to avoid them when [F#m]they call
[D]Strange words I heard
a long long time ago
I wish I could go back to a summer time
I knew more than twenty years ago
Lay between the sheets we lie
underneath the maple [F#m]tree
Now [Bm]I ca[G]n't sm[D]ile
Lying down in the grass with the wind
around us as we smile and talk
Listen to your Grandma sing
those country songs
She'd tell us how the maple turns
to fire every four years
We'd lay in the grass all summer just to
watch the autumn come [F#m]around
[Bm]I ca[G]n't sm[D]ile
[F#m]Now I [Bm]can'[G]t smil[D]e
[F#m]I live[G] alon[Bb]e and
you're so [D]far [F#m]away
I [G]call you every [Bb]year just
[D]around the holiday
[F#m]I still see you in[A] the night[Bb]
lying above [D]me in the [F#m]grass
[Bm]I ca[G]n't sm[D]ile
Turn away from the pain
you don't want
Turning down to avoid them when they call
I can't believe this letter
that says you [G]died
[D]I think I'm gonna go back to the house
in North Carolina and lay in the backyard
Get drunk and let the leaves just bury me
Bury [F#m]me
[Bm]I ca[G]n't sm[D]ile
[F#m]Now I [Bm]can'[G]t smil[D]e
[F#m]I don't know w[Bm]hat's happening to me[G]
I don't [D]know what's happening [F#m]to me
[Bm]I ca[G]n't smile

[Outro 1]
