Grapevine Fires

[Verse]
Am 
  
                         A                 E
    When the wind picked up the fire spread
                   
  And the grapevines
    B                 F#m
seemed left for dead
                   A        
  And the Northern sky looked
                      E
like the end of days
                C#m
The end of days


[Verse]
Am 
  
                    A                 E
    The wake-up call to a rented room
                  B   
  Sounded like an alarm
                    F#m
of impending doom
                A    
  To warn us it's only
                   E
a matter of time


[Chorus]
              F#m    A   E  B
Before we all burn
              F#m    A   E  C#m
Before we all burn
              F#m    A   E  B
Before we all burn
              F#m    A     E~
Before we all burn


[Verse]
Am 
  
                   A                        E
     We bought some wine and some paper cups
                    B      
  Near your daughters school
                       F#m
when we picked her up
               A               E
And drove to a cemetery on a hill
       C#m
On a hill


[Verse]
Am 
  
                         A                     E
     And we watched the plumes paint the sky gray
                    B      
  But she laughed and danced
                          F#m
through the field of graves
             A   
  And there I knew
                  E
it would be alright
          B
That everything


[Chorus]
           F#m    A   E  B
Would be alright
           F#m    A   E  C#m
Would be alright
           F#m    A   E  B
Would be alright
           F#m    A     E~
Would be alright


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


[Interlude]
         F#m    A   E  B
To burn away
F#m A E C#m
F#m  A  E  B
F#m  A  E  E

F#m A E B
F#m  A  E  C#m
F#m  A  E  B
F#m  A  E  E


[Outro]
  F#m~ 
  
                       A~                    E~
     And the firemen worked in double shifts
                 
  With prayers for
    B~                 F#m~
rain on their lips
                     
  And they knew it was
    A~                  E~
only a matter of time
