Words in the Fire - Patrick Watson
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Chiel1989
I think this is accurate (it sounds right to me anyway) but if you have any corrections,
feel free to comment.
I have tried to fit in the lyrics as best as I could but some parts have too many words
to fit them in.
When the tab says 4x above a measure, it means only play that measure 4x. 2x or 3x at
the end
means play the whole section the 2 or 3 times)
Tuning: EADGBd (tune high e-string down one full step)
Measure: 6/8

Fire
After this you play the whole verse once more. But the lyrics are:
We were down at sandy beach
Old man talking a young man's words
Tell me where you would like to be
Tonight don't be afraid to dream
Lean on the fire for a while
'Cause in the morning it'll all be ashes on the ground
After that it is the chorus again. And that's the whole song.
