Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
 Em G D Em

Verse 1:

Em
Far away not long ago
          G
When the church bells rang and life moved slow
D                                       Em
People prayed for hope they prayed for rain
Em
A woman she stood tall and proud
       G
With a heavy walk, voice so loud her
 D                          Em
Body aching, she ignored the pain
 Em
Like she did the years before
G

Right outside her farmhouse door
D                            Em
Lit a match to burn it all again
 Em
The wind it blowed it didn't stop
    G
The flame kept burning beyond the crop
       D                           Em
It was ruthless, took all it could claim


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

Verse 2:

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


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


Instrumental:
Em G D Em
Em G D Em

Verse 3:

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


Chorus:

C              G
Wild fire she danced the night away
D                              Em
Took her by the hand there was nothing she could say
 C        G
Wild fire brought her to her knees
         D                                                 Em
When the dust finally settled... there was nothing but the breeze

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