Verse 1:

E minorEm
Far away not long ago
     G+G
When the church bells rang and life moved slow
D MajorD                    E minorEm
People prayed for hope they prayed for rain
E minorEm
A augmentedA woman she stood tall and proud
    G+G
With a heavy walk, voice so loud her
 D MajorD             E minorEm
Body aching, she ignored the pain
 E minorEm
Like she did the years before
G+G
Right outside her farmhouse door
D MajorD              E minorEm
Lit a match to burn it all again
 E minorEm
The wind it blowed it didn't stop
  G+G
The flame kept burning beyond the crop
    D MajorD              E minorEm
It was ruthless, took all it could claim

Chorus:
C majorC       G+G
Wild fire she danced the night away
D MajorD               E minorEm
Took her by the hand there was nothing she could say
 C majorC    G+G
Wild fire brought her to her knees
     D MajorD                         E minorEm
When the dust finally settled... there was nothing but the breeze

E minorEm
Tears ran down her somber face
G+G
All the things she can't replace
 D MajorD                 E minorEm
Answered prayers never brought the rain
E minorEm
Boy had yet become a man
G+G
She hoped one day he'd take the land
D MajorD            E minorEm
Black burnt soil is what remained

Chorus:
C majorC       G+G
Wild fire she danced the night away
D MajorD               E minorEm

When the dust finally settled... there was nothing but the breeze

Verse 3:

E minorEm
She looked upon her tragedies
G+G
Fields of ash her leafless trees
D MajorD             E minorEm
Her empire crumbled down to ruins
E minorEm
In her heart she held the blame
G+G
Never saw herself the same
 D MajorD           E minorEm
Wouldn't answer to her name

     D MajorD                         E minorEm
When the dust finally settled... there was nothing but the breeze
