Forgot the last line haha

The wind picked up
And the fire spread
And the grapevines seemed left for dead
And the northern sky, like the end of day
The end of days

A wake up call to a rented room
Sounded like an alarm of impending doom.
To warn us it's only a matter of time.
Before we all burn [4x]

I brought some wine and some paper cups
Near your daughter's school when we picked her up
And drove to the cemetery on a hill
On a hill

And we watched the plumes make the sky gray
And she laughed and danced through the field of graves
There I knew it would be alright
That everything would be alright
Would be alright
Would be alright
Would be alright

And the news reports on the radio
Said it was getting worse
Cause the ocean air fanned the flames
But I couldn't think of anywhere I would have rather been
To watch it all burn away
To burn away

The firemen worked in double shifts
With prayers of rain on their lips
And they knew it was only a matter of time

    you are the person who first made me look deeper into narow stairs covers. nice job!

  • haha thanks, glad you liked it :)

  • Great cover :)

    Would you mind posting the chords or messaging me with them? :) Thanks!

  • Here you go, thanks!

    Capo 3 Am, C, G, D for the verses and refrain, then alternate the D chord with an Em.

    "The News reports.."

    x-2-1-2-0-x, C, G, Am, C, Em

    repeat again except instead of Em, end with D
