Capo 2nd Fred

Intro: Em | D

Em                                D
I was born a baby boy a long time ago
C                                                      Em      D
Back when the hillsides were green and the water would flow
     Em                                D
But nights they fall and settle like snow
   C                                                    Em    D
I watched as the hillsides turned white with nowhere to go

C                          Em
Oh think I?m gonna start a fire
C                          Em    D Em
Oh think I?m gonna start a fire

        Em                                           D
Now my heart?s a frozen lake where streams used to flow
C                                                Em     D
Down to the forest of my mind where memory would grow
 Em                                                D 
Now I walk amongst the trees where the last sun glows
     C                                             Em   D
The leaves are all golden and brown with nowhere to go


C                          Em
Oh think I?m gonna start a fire
C                          Em    D Em
Oh think I?m gonna start a fire

   C
My skin like these boulders
     D
Is cracking and older
      G                      Em
With each passing year that goes
    C
My cliff face is crumbling
 D
Silently tumbling
G              Bm    Em
Down to the water below
    C
And if I light a match 
        D
I?ll be able to catch
      Bm               C
The last sun before it goes

       C                             Em
And oh well I think I?m gonna start a fire
     C                     Em
Oh think I?m gonna start a fire
    C                          Em   D
And oh think I?m gonna start a fire now
