C
I was born a baby boy a long time ago
Bb
Dm
C
Back when the hillsides were green and the water would flow
Dm
C
But nights they fall and settle like snow
Bb
Dm
C
I watched as the hillsides turned white with nowhere to go
Bb
Dm
Oh think I'm gonna start a fire
Bb
Dm
C
Dm
Oh think I'm gonna start a fire
Dm
C
Now my heart?s a frozen lake where streams used to flow
Bb
Dm
C
Down to the forest of my mind where memory would grow
Dm
C
Now I walk amongst the trees where the last sun glows
Bb
Dm
C
The leaves are all golden and brown with nowhere to go
Bb
Dm
Oh think I'm gonna start a fire
Bb
Dm
C
Dm
Oh think I'm gonna start a fire
Bb
My skin like these boulders
C
Is cracking and older
F
Dm
With each passing year that goes
Bb
My cliff face is crumbling
C
Silently tumbling
F
Am
Dm
Down to the water below
Bb
And if I light a match
C
I?ll be able to catch
Am
Bb
The last sun before it goes
Bb
Dm
And oh well I think I'm gonna start a fire
Bb
Dm
Oh think I'm gonna start a fire
Bb
Dm
C
And oh think I'm gonna start a fire now
Dm
C
Am
