Grapevine Fires Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][E][Em][Am]

[Verse 1]
When the wind picked [C]up
And the fire [G]spread
And the grapevines [D]seemed
left for [Am]dead.
And the northern sky,
[C]looked like the end of day[G],
The end of days.
[E][Em][E]

[Verse 2]
[Am]
The wake up [C]call to a rented room
[G]Sounded like an [D]alarm of
impending [Am]doom.
To warn us it's [C]only a matter of [G]time.
Before we all [Am]burn[C][G][D]
Before we [Am]all [C]burn[G][Em]
Before we [Am]all [C]burn[G][D]
Before we [Am]all burn.
[C][G]

[Verse 3]
[Am]
We bought some [C]wine and
some paper [G]cups
Near your daughter's [D]school
when we picked her [Am]up
And drove [B]to a [C]cemetery on a [G]hill,
On [D]a hill.
[E][Em]

[Verse 4]
[Am]
Watched the [C]plumes paint
the sky [G]gray
As she laughed and [D]danced through
the field of [Am]graves
There I [C]knew it would be alright
[G]That eve[D]rything would be alright,
[Am]Woul[C]d be[G] a[D]l right[Am][C][G]
[Em]Would be alright
[Am]Would be a[C]lright
[G]Wou[D]ld be alright.

[Interlude 1]
[Am][C][G][B]

[Verse 5]
And the news [B]reports on the ra[C]dio
Said it was get[G]ting [Am]worse
As the ocean [C]air fanned
[Em]the flames.[B]
But I couldn't think of [C]anywhere
I would have [G]rather [Am]been
To watch it [C]all burn [D]away,

[Interlude 2]
To burn away.
[Am][C][G][D][Am][C][G][Em]
[Am][C][G][D][Am][C][G][C]
[G][Am][C][G][D][Am][C][G][D][Em]
[Am][C][G][D][Am][C][G]
[Am]

[Verse 6]
The firemen [C]worked in double shift[G]s,
With prayers for [D]rain on their [Am]lips,
And they knew it was [C]only a matter of time.
