Firelight Waltz

	  		

 


        D             D  
All the hard-drinking stiffs  
    G               D 
Are asleep on their cots  
    G        F#m        Em          A  
And fog's in barrels on Totten Pond Road  
        D        Aadd4 
And the sots who remain  
       Am     G 
Strike matches and crane  
           Bm               G          Asus4  A 
Cause they can't make their way in the dark  
       
       D 
It's a hard parlor game  
        G           D             G  
Playing miscues and pratfalls for laughs  
     F#m           Em          A  
From sad sacks and fairweather friends  

          D             Aadd4  
You don't have to catch on  
       Am           G  
Lay it out and be gone  
          Bm            G         Asus4  D 
There's a calm's been a long time coming  


D       Asus4   G        D 
Mary oh Mary go find the light  
                     Am          Em      G 
Take a hit from your whiskey and stumble inside  
       D              Bm              F#m         G  
It's a tune from your childhood and a soft yellow moon  
        Bm           G              Asus4  D 
And the firelight is just right for dancing  


         D 
Like the cruel April air  
      G           D 
Plays muse to the hopeless  
        G           F#m             Em        A 
And the storms coax sunflowers from mossy old hills  
         D             Aadd4 
May this song find you there  
        Am      G 
In your embroidered chair  
          Bm         G    Asus4    D  
With your afghan and warm Darjeeling  

D       Asus4   G        D 
Mary oh Mary go find the light  
                     Am          Em      G 
Take a hit from your whiskey and stumble inside  
       D              Bm              F#m         G  
It's a tune from your childhood and a soft yellow moon  
        Bm           G              Asus4   D 
And the firelight is just right for dancing
