Burdens I carry in the day
C D
Working, burning my life away
G Em
The riches I send to the governments of men
Am D
But to you I bring the fire
G C Am
Songs I sing to every gentle thing
Em E7
But to you I bring the fire
Am D
Fire, fire in my eye
Am D
Fire of my thigh
G
The fire flows
Em
The lava burned away my clothes
C Am
New York is just a lonely town
D
I've walked on that high wire
G Em
To her I've brung my flowers and my song
Am D
But to you I bring my fire
Am D Am D
G Em Am D
C
Burdens I carry in the day
Working, burning my life away
The riches I send to the governments of men
But to you I bring the fire
Songs may go with every wind that blows
But to you I bring the fire
Fire, fire in my lung
Fire in my tongue
The fire flows
The lava burned away my clothes
New York is just a lonely town
I've walked on that high wire
To her I've brung my shadows and my song
But to you I bring my fire
Am
