Grapevine Fires

[Verse]
Am 
  
                         C                 G
    When the wind picked up the fire spread
                   
  And the grapevines
    D                 Am
seemed left for dead
                   C        
  And the Northern sky looked
                      G
like the end of days
                Em
The end of days


[Verse]
Am 
  
                    C                 G
    The wake-up call to a rented room
                  D   
  Sounded like an alarm
                    Am
of impending doom
                C    
  To warn us it's only
                   G
a matter of time


[Chorus]
              Am    C   G  D
Before we all burn
              Am    C   G  Em
Before we all burn
              Am    C   G  D
Before we all burn
              Am    C     G~
Before we all burn


[Verse]
Am 
  
                   C                        G
     We bought some wine and some paper cups
                    D      
  Near your daughters school
                       Am
when we picked her up
               C               G
And drove to a cemetery on a hill
       Em
On a hill


[Verse]
Am 
  
                         C                     G
     And we watched the plumes paint the sky gray
                    D      
  But she laughed and danced
                          Am
through the field of graves
             C   
  And there I knew
                  G
it would be alright
          D
That everything


[Chorus]
           Am    C   G  D
Would be alright
           Am    C   G  Em
Would be alright
           Am    C   G  D
Would be alright
           Am    C     G~
Would be alright


[Bridge]
  B~ 
  
                                C~
    And the news reports on the radio
              G~              Am~
Said it was getting worse
               C~                   Em~
As the ocean air fanned the flames
  B~
     But I couldn't think
     C~                    G~            Am~
Of anywhere I would of rather been
              C~           D~
To watch it all burn away


[Interlude]
         Am    C   G  D
To burn away
Am C G Em
Am  C  G  D
Am  C  G  G

Am C G D
Am  C  G  Em
Am  C  G  D
Am  C  G  G


[Outro]
  Am~ 
  
                       C~                    G~
     And the firemen worked in double shifts
                 
  With prayers for
    D~                 Am~
rain on their lips
                     
  And they knew it was
    C~                  G~
only a matter of time
