Burn One Down    Clint Black         Rick in Macon

Recorded in G, but easier for most voices in C (the key of this tab)


N.C.                            C
I guess you're off to have your fun
                      D7
another ending just begun
                        F
and I know what I don't see
                        G    G7
really shouldn't bother me

NC                        C
so go and have yourself a ball
                               D7
you'll be at no one's beck and call
                           F                               G7
and with that fire in your eyes, another lover's moon will rise
                           C      C7
someone else will take the fall

CHORUS:
                            F
and that's just the way you are
               Am     C
I've known all along
                    D     D7
some candles always burn
                       G     G7
even when the night is gone
                       F
but the strongest of   flames
           Am          C
won't burn eternally
                         F
so when you find another friend
                          G7
who lights your candle up again
                          C
you can burn one down for me

NC                  C
So you don't matter anymore
                           D7
I'll convince myself I'm sure
               F
as if I give a damn
                      G    G7
that's just the way I am

                                C   
So go on and pour yourself some wine
                            D7
with who'll ever spend your time
                  F                           G7               
cause anyone can see you won't be cryin' over me
                        C
and you never were that kind

REPEAT CHORUS


END:
                      F
when you find another friend
                            G7
who'll light your candle up again
                          F    Fm     C   
you can burn one down for me
