Grapevine Fires Chords & Tabs
1st VERSE:
Cm Ebmaj7
When the wind picked up
Bb F
the fire spread and the grapevines seemed left for dead.
Cm Eb
And the northern sky looked like the end of days,
Bb Gm
the end of days.
Cm Eb
A wake up call to a rancid room
Bb F
Sounded like an alarm of impending doom.
Cm Eb Bb
To warn us it's only a matter of time.
CHORUS:
Cm Eb Bb F
Before we all burn
Cm Eb Bb Gm
Before we all burn
Cm Eb Bb F
Before we all burn
Cm Eb Bb
Before we all burn

2nd VERSE:
Cm Eb
We bought some wine and some paper cups
Bb F
near your daughter's school when we picked her up
Cm Eb
and drove to a cemetery on a hill
Bb Gm
on a hill.
Cm Eb
And we watched the plumes paint the sky grey
Bb F
and she laughed and danced through the field of graves
Cm Eb
And there I knew it would be alright
Bb F
that everything
CHORUS:
Cm Eb Bb F
Would be alright
Cm Eb Bb Gm
Would be alright
Cm Eb Bb F
Would be alright
Cm Eb Bb
Would be alright
BRIDGE:

And the news reports on the radio
Bb
said it was getting worse

As the ocean air found the flames

But I couldn't think of anywhere I would have rather been

To watch it all burn away
Cm Eb Bb F
To burn away.
