Am           C 
Firewood and candles 
F                  E 
On a winter Friday night 
Am             C 
Waiting for my sweetheart 
F                        E 
Wanna set the scene just right 
Am          C 
Wine in the bottles 
F                     E 
Paella cooking in the pan 
Am           C 
Elvis on the stereo 
F                E 
I'm a man with a plan 

Verse 

Am           C 
Firewood and candles 
F                   E 
Giving off a lovely light 
Am              C 
When she knocks upon my door 
F                   E 
I hope she's got an appetite 
Am           C 
We're gonna shut out the world

Forget about the TV news

Firewood and candles 
F                            E 
Tonight they're gonna see us through

We're gonna talk a little 
G 
We're gonna kiss a little 
F 
Then some more 
Am 
A whole lot more 
G 
I'm gonna show her I love her 
E 
Below and above her 
Am 
and a whole lot more 

Verse 

Am           C 
Firewood and candles 
F                     E 
Making shadows on the wall 
Am               C 
Is that the Gods coming to Earth? 
F                      E 
Or a mule kicking in a stall 
Am               C 
Making all these memories 
F                     E 
Forever gonna keep us more 
Am                C       F                E 
When firewood and candles disappear in the storm 

 
G 
Yeah we talk a little 
G 
We kiss a little 
F 
And then some more 
Am 
A whole lot more 
G 
Oh she knows I love 
E 
Below and above her  
Am 
and a whole lot more
