Fire Maple Song Cifras

FIRE MAPLE SONG
As recorded by Everclear
(From the 1993 Album WORLD OF NOISE)
 
 
 
[Intro]
E
 
 
[Verse 1]
E
Turn away from the pain you don't want
E
Turning down to avoid them when they call
E
Strange words I heard a long, long time ago
 
 
[Verse 2]
E
I wish I could go back to a summertime
E
I knew more than twenty years ago
E
Lay between the sheets
E
Lie underneath the maple tree
 
 
[Chorus]
G#m C#m  A  E
Now I can't smile
 
 
[Verse 3]
E
Lying down in the grass with the wind around us
E
As we smile and talk
E
Listen to your grandma sing those country songs
 
 
[Verse 4]
E
She'd tell us how the maple turns to fire every four years
E
We'd lay in the grass all summer
E
Just to watch the autumn come around
 
 
[Chorus]
G#5 C#5   A5 E5
I   can't smile
G#5 C#5   A5 E5
I   can't smile, yeah yeah yeah
 
 
[Bridge]
G#5   A5
Now I live alone
C5            E5
And you're so far away
G#5     A5             C5
Yeah, I call you every year
     E5
Just around the holidays
G#5     B5
I still see you in the night
C5          E5
Lying above me in the grass
G#5 C#5   A5 E5
I   can't smile
 
 
[Guitar Solo]
E5
 
 
[Verse 5]
E5
Turn away from the pain you don't want
E5
Turning down to avoid them when they call
E5
I can't believe this letter that says you died
 
 
[Verse 6]
E5
I think I'm gonna go back to the house
E5
In North Carolina and lay in the backyard
E5
Get drunk and let the leaves just bury me, bury me
 
 
[Chorus]
G#5 C#5   A5 E5
I   can't smile
G#5 C#5   A5 E5
I   can't smile
G#5     C#5
I don't know what's happened to me
A5      E5
I don't know what's happened to me
G#5 C#5   A5 E5
I   can't smile, hey
 
 
[Outro]
E5
