Scarlett Jane – Wildfire chords

[Intro]
 Em G D Em

[Verse 1]

EmFar away not long ago
          GWhen the church bells rang and life moved slow
D                                       EmPeople prayed for hope they prayed for rain
EmA woman she stood tall and proud
       GWith a heavy walk, voice so loud her
 D                          EmBody aching, she ignored the pain
 EmLike she did the years before
GRight outside her farmhouse door
D                            EmLit a match to burn it all again
 EmThe wind it blowed it didn't stop
    GThe flame kept burning beyond the crop
       D                           EmIt was ruthless, took all it could claim


[Chorus]
C              GWild fire she danced the night away
D                              EmTook her by the hand there was nothing she could say
 C        GWild fire brought her to her knees
         D                                                 EmWhen the dust finally settled... there was nothing but the breeze

[Verse 2]

EmTears ran down her somber face
GAll the things she can't replace
 D                                  EmAnswered prayers never brought the rain
EmBoy had yet become a man
GShe hoped one day he'd take the land
D                        EmBlack burnt soil is what remained


[Chorus]
C              GWild fire she danced the night away
D                              EmTook her by the hand there was nothing she could say
 C        GWild fire brought her to her knees
         D                                                 EmWhen the dust finally settled... there was nothing but the breeze


[Instrumental]
Em G D Em     
Em G D Em

[Verse 3]

EmShe looked upon her tragedies
GFields of ash her leafless trees
D                         EmHer empire crumbled down to ruins
EmIn her heart she held the blame
GNever saw herself the same
 D                      EmWouldn't answer to her name


[Chorus]

C              GWild fire she danced the night away
D                              EmTook her by the hand there was nothing she could say
 C        GWild fire brought her to her knees
         D                                                 EmWhen the dust finally settled... there was nothing but the breeze

[Chorus]
C              GWild fire she danced the night away
D                              EmTook her by the hand there was nothing she could say
 C        GWild fire brought her to her knees
         D                                                 EmWhen the dust finally settled... there was nothing but the breeze
