C----Am----F----G---- (x2)

Verse 1:
C          Am        F       G
Two young lads on distant shores
Tending to the rigors of their daily chores
Their parents tell them what's going on
N/C         F ~     G ~        C
and they're waiting for the fire
C          Am      F        G
Two young men on distant shores
Tending to the rigors of their social norms
The news reel tells them what's going on
N/C          F ~    G ~     C ~
and they're waiting for the bombs

Chorus: 
C      Am     F       G
Waiting for the fire
C           Am                F                 G
The heat is rising and their tongues are getting drier
C         Am          F        G
The culmination of an ancient time
N/C      F ~     G ~      C
They are waiting for the fire

C        Am     F      G
Waiting for the fire
C        Am      F        G
They are waiting for the fire
