On The Night Of The Bonfire Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Am][G][C][A]
[G][Am][C][A]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]On
the night of the [Am]bon fire,
nobody [C]danced
[Am]You all claimed you'd
forgotten [G]how
And I think on that [Am]now
is the lamest ex[C]cuse
[A]For [Am]burn[A]ing all of our shoes[G]
On the night of the [Am]bon [Asus4]fire
[Am]everyone [C]laughed
[A]At your least a bit of [G]news
And I think on that [Am]note,[Asus4]
as im[Am]peccable tim[C]ing
[A]For the joke flared upon [Am]you[G][Am]
[Asus4][Am][C][A][Am][A][Am][G]
[Am]I was happy there,
but the point being,
back [C]then, and added later,
when the cabs beat back,
the small hope [Am]blinked [A]out
like a blown bul[Am]b on the stage.
And I see another hero,
[G]who from 1979 has gotten older,
[Am]then a tremor of my own,
and I've gotten that little bit
closer to middle [C]age.
And these thoughts swirl,
and I look across the river,
so that the [Am]light[A] s, th[Am]e trees,
and the walk in [G]silence.
Is that a year gone by already?
You whistled in [Am]the gold, deep sunset,
It ain't modern,
I'd left you cold and up[C]set
I'm up all night, but I can't sleep
I think you should be [A]grateful
For once, just [G]not hateful
On the night of the [Am]bonfire
[C]Nobody [A]asked
As to what happened to [G]you
And I think on that [Am]night
As unbelievably [C]rude
[A]Ashes to ashes,
I buried you good
