Chords with lyrics
Burn One Down Clint Black Rick in Macon
Recorded in G, but easier for most voices in C majorC (the key of this tab)
N.C. C majorC
I guess you're off to have your fun
D7D7
another ending just begun
FF
and I know what I don't see
G+G G7G7
really shouldn't bother me
NC C majorC
so go and have yourself a ball
D7D7
you'll be at no one's beck and call
FF G7G7
and with that fire in your eyes, another lover's moon will rise
C majorC C7C7
someone else will take the fall
CHORUS:
FF
and that's just the way you are
A minorAm C majorC
I've known all along
D MajorD D7D7
some candles always burn
G+G G7G7
even when the night is gone
FF
but the strongest of flames
A minorAm C majorC
won't burn eternally
FF
so when you find another friend
G7G7
who lights your candle up again
C majorC
you can burn one down for me
NC C majorC
So you don't matter anymore
D7D7
I'll convince myself I'm sure
FF
as if I give a damn
G+G G7G7
that's just the way I am
C majorC
So go on and pour yourself some wine
D7D7
with who'll ever spend your time
FF G7G7
cause anyone can see you won't be cryin' over me
C majorC
and you never were that kind
REPEAT CHORUS
END:
FF
when you find another friend
G7G7
who'll light your candle up again
FF F minorFm C majorC
you can burn one down for me
Rick in Macon
