VERSE: 

    C                    
The sky was on fire    
       F             C         
When I walked to the mill    
               G/B          Am         
To take up the slack in the line.   
  F             C            
I thought of my friends    
        G                Am        
And the troubles they've had    
   F            G           C         
To keep me from thinking of mine.   

Don't let us get sick,

The moon has a face    
       F             C         
And it smiles on the lake    
               G/B        Am         
And causes the ripples in time.   
    F        C            
I'm lucky to be here    
     G         Am
