Chords with lyrics
Intro: DmDm | C majorC
DmDm C majorC
I was born a baby boy a long time ago
Bb majorBb DmDm C majorC
Back when the hillsides were green and the water would flow
DmDm C majorC
But nights they fall and settle like snow
Bb majorBb DmDm C majorC
I watched as the hillsides turned white with nowhere to go
Bb majorBb DmDm
Oh think I?m gonna start a fire
Bb majorBb DmDm C majorC DmDm
Oh think I?m gonna start a fire
DmDm C majorC
Now my heart?s a frozen lake where streams used to flow
Bb majorBb DmDm C majorC
Down to the forest of my mind where memory would grow
DmDm C majorC
Now I walk amongst the trees where the last sun glows
Bb majorBb DmDm C majorC
The leaves are all golden and brown with nowhere to go
Bb majorBb DmDm
Oh think I?m gonna start a fire
Bb majorBb DmDm C majorC DmDm
Oh think I?m gonna start a fire
Bb majorBb
My skin like these boulders
C majorC
Is cracking and older
FF DmDm
With each passing year that goes
Bb majorBb
My cliff face is crumbling
C majorC
Silently tumbling
FF A minorAm DmDm
Down to the water below
Bb majorBb
And if I light a match
C majorC
I?ll be able to catch
A minorAm Bb majorBb
The last sun before it goes
Bb majorBb DmDm
And oh well I think I?m gonna start a fire
Bb majorBb DmDm
Oh think I?m gonna start a fire
Bb majorBb DmDm C majorC
And oh think I?m gonna start a fire now
