Intro: C G D Em 

C                    G       
 They both met in the midnight sky, 
D              Em 
 Got lost in each other's eyes, 
      C              G                Am7 
 Then threw away the map and lost the key, 
 C                 G 
 God sent them the first two kids, 
 D                   Em                    
 One named Fire, the other one Wind, 
          C               G                Am7 
 With a note that floated down for them to read. 
              C                 G                D  
 It said 'You asked what it was like up here for Me.' 

                         C  G 
 Mother Earth and Father Ti-ime, 
 D                 Em          C  G 
 Fell in love over Appalachian wi-ine, 
 D                     Em                C  G 
 Hit a rough spell and almost lost their mi-inds, 
 D                      Em                C  G 
 Raised a little hell before they fell in li-ine. 


 C                    G 
 Fire came out with a restless soul, 
      D                  Em 
 That only got worse as he got older, 
        C         G             Am7 
 'Til finally he got too hot to tame.  
 C                 G 
 Time said 'Son I know it's hard but, 
D                     Em 
 You're breaking your Momma's heart.' 
     C                      G                   Am7 
 And Fire looked up through tears that made the rain, 
                    C            G           D 
 He said 'Why is it everything I love I set aflame?' 

                         C  G 
 Mother Earth and Father Ti-ime, 
 D                 Em          C  G 
 Fell in love over Appalachian wi-ine, 
 D                     Em                C  G 
 Hit a rough spell and almost lost their mi-inds, 
 D                      Em                C  G 
 Raised a little hell before they fell in li-ine. 

 C                    G 
 Wind was born to the open sky with a, 
D                 Em 
 Bad temper and a wandering eye, 
        C               G              Am7 
 That kept him on the run for most his days. 


 C                   G 
 Earth said 'Listen, hear my child, see, 
D             Em     
 I used to run that wild, 
            C              G             Am7 
 'Cause it's hard to put a finger on the pain, 
        C              G               D 
 But son you can't outrun a thing like shame.' 

      C                  G 
 Then Time and Earth got on their knees, 
     D                    Em 
 And prayed 'Dear God, oh can't You see? 
     C                   G 
 The Fire's too hot, the Wind's too cold, 
     D                    Em 
 And loving them is gonna kill us both.' 
      C                    G 
 Then God reached down and took their hands, 
 D                      Em 
 Dried their tears, and smiled and said, 
         C                 G                Am7 
 'That's kind of what it's like up here for Me. 
       C                G              D 
 Yeah, loving them will cost you every-thing.' 

                         C  G 
 Mother Earth and Father Ti-ime, 
 D                 Em          C  G 
 Fell in love over Appalachian wi-ine, 
 D                     Em                C  G 
 Hit a rough spell and almost lost their mi-inds, 
 D                      Em                C  G 
 Raised a little hell before they fell in li-ine.
