🎸 Verse 1:
D MajorD               G+G         D MajorD
She was pure as a virgin when first she came my way
                   G+G       D MajorD
But her blue eyes were hungry for the words I had to say
G+G            A augmentedA         D MajorD
Barely turned twenty and eager to meet the world
    G+G        A augmentedA          D MajorD
It's a gentle fire that burns in an innocent girl

🎸 Verse 2:
                  G+G         D MajorD
Her momma kept her straight so she never ever saw the lights
               G+G         D MajorD
Of the dim lit places where I sang my songs each night
  G+G               A augmentedA           D MajorD
She done caught hold of something Lord she couldn't let go
      G+G       A augmentedA          D MajorD
And now her gentle fire's startin' to make me glow

🎸 Chorus:

And it's a gentle fire that starts from a little spark
     G+G          E minorEm     A augmentedA      D MajorD
And we'd sit for hours in the corner and talk in the dark
D MajorD               A augmentedA         D MajorD
Then she'd squeeze my hand and softly whisper my name yeah

And now a gentle fire starts turnin' into a flame

And she said I want to be alone with you tonight
     G+G        A augmentedA         D MajorD
Then she took me into her own little secret world
   G+G      A augmentedA          D MajorD
Now a rangin' fire burns in my innocent girl
