CH 15 Pyromania
I was never in the boy scouts or the woodcraft folk |D |A |
I thought those organisations were a bit of a joke Em | A sus2/6|
Now I'm not saying that a bit of discipline can't be good |D |G |
And there are certain skills worth learning for the woods |full A run to G| 2 bars
There are things you need to know there to survive
But it's not all about just keeping yourself alive
Now don't think for a moment it's an uncontrollable desire
But one thing I like to do is light a fire |full A run to A| 2 bars
Get some tinder, nice and dry |Bm A |G D |
Add wood in increasing size |Em F#m |G A |
Strike a match await the prize |Bm A |G D |
Flames'll be heading for the sky |full A run to G |2 bars
Now how you start the flame’s another art |Bm |A |
A magnifying glass can play it's part |C G |Asus |
Or flint and steel can give a tasty spark |Bm |A |
Or use a Lucifer to lighten up the dark |C |G7 A |
Pyromania, that's what they name ya |G |D |
The love of watching flames flare in the night Em | A sus2/6|
Pyromania, it's a lovely game yeh |G |D |
As long as you keep the boundaries nice and tight |full A run to G| 2 bars
So I'm not talking arson, you think I'm a fool? |D |A |
Fire must be controlled like any tool |Em | A sus2/6|
But a campfire, bonfire barbeque or stove |D A |G D |
Can be a meditative treasure trove |full A run to G| 2 bars
Repeat chorus twice
Then spoken
So let’s put another log onto the fire
Stare at the light as the flames burn higher
If you say that don’t stir you I’ll call you a liar
Mmmm aaah
That’s lovely
