Wildfire

Gm A# F Gm Gm Far away not long ago A# When the church bells rang and life moved slow F Gm People prayed for hope they prayed for rain Gm A woman she stood tall and proud A# With a heavy walk, voice so loud her F Gm Body aching, she ignored the pain Gm Like she did the years before A# Right outside her farmhouse door F Gm Lit a match to burn it all again Gm The wind it blowed it didn't stop A# The flame kept burning beyond the crop F Gm It was ruthless, took all it could claim D# A# Wild fire she danced the night away F Gm Took her by the hand there was nothing she could say D# A# Wild fire brought her to her knees F Gm When the dust finally settled... there was nothing but the breeze Gm Tears ran down her somber face A# All the things she can't replace F Gm Answered prayers never brought the rain Gm Boy had yet become a man A# She hoped one day he'd take the land F Gm Black burnt soil is what remained D# A# Wild fire she danced the night away F Gm Took her by the hand there was nothing she could say D# A# Wild fire brought her to her knees F Gm When the dust finally settled... there was nothing but the breeze Gm A# F Gm Gm A# F Gm Gm She looked upon her tragedies A# Fields of ash her leafless trees F Gm Her empire crumbled down to ruins Gm In her heart she held the blame A# Never saw herself the same F Gm Wouldn't answer to her name D# A# Wild fire she danced the night away F Gm Took her by the hand there was nothing she could say D# A# Wild fire brought her to her knees F Gm When the dust finally settled... there was nothing but the breeze D# A# Wild fire she danced the night away F Gm Took her by the hand there was nothing she could say D# A# Wild fire brought her to her knees F Gm When the dust finally settled... there was nothing but the breeze
