Verse:
G C G
I confused a few people and whistled a tune
G D D7
In the cold grass where I lie
C
And the beasts were all tame as we lay down beside them
C G
Light from the darkness shone in their eyes
D D7
Oh that night
G C G
We were sedated and strewn on the ground
G D D7
Like the leaves and the trees we were blowin'
C
And she was there too but she did not approve
C G
of the songs that we sang though we did not oblige her
D D7
Her cries at night
G D
Oh that night, I woke up
G C G
and the river was burning, very concerning to me
D
off the cuff
C G D
It was a pale colored hue that night, I woke up
G C G
And the band was still playing, people were saying to you
D C G
Looks like the sky's on fire
verse 2:
G C G
Me in the grass hon and you in your cap
G D D7
I don't care much for your temper
C
But I'll come home with you if you'll get me a few
C G
Of those little pills that you sell by the dozen
D D7
To my cousin
G D
Oh that night, I woke up
G C G
and the river was burning, very concerning to me
D
and off the cuff
C G D
It was a pale colored hue that night, I woke up
G C G
And containers were busting, very disgusting to you
D C G
That looks like the sky's on fire
D C G
Looks like the sky's on fire
D C G
Looks like the sky's on fire
verse 3:
G C G
Well I confused a few people and whistled a tune
G D D7
In the cold grass where I lie
C
And she was there toooooooooo......
(Repeat Chorus 1)
D C G
Looks like the sky's on fire
D C G
Looks like the sky's on fiiiiiiiiiiiire
