Reuben Hudson - Sparks Cifras

TITLE: Sparks
MUSIC AND LYRICS: Reuben Hudson
ORIGINAL ARTISTS: Reuben Hudson
TRANSCRIPTION: Andrew Marsden
 
So, you know Reuben Hudson... The adorable Kiwi who played Balthazar in Nothing Much to Do...
 
This is one of his songs.
 
I'd recommend a capo, but it's up to you. (If you need it sans capo, just transpose +2.
 
Obviously best played on piano, but I'm sure you can do something to work it with guitar or uke.

VERSE 1
 
  Dmaj7                       F#m     G
  Tell me what you want me to say
  Dmaj7                     F#m         G
  Tell me if you'd rather I go, or if I stay
        Dmaj7               F#m G   Dmaj7
  For a while I'll be on my ow--ow--own
 
     Dmaj7
 
 
CHORUS
 
 G                        A                 Bm G
  This fire's been burned out through time a---part
                                 A               Bm     G
  But I've been able to see more sparks as all's turned dark
                 A                        Bm        G
  This valley of ashes that I once roamed ain't the same
                                        A
  I'll see if one of these sparks turns into a flame
 
VERSE 2
 
  | Dmaj7 | Dmaj7 | F#m | G |
 
       Dmaj7                           F#m     G
  I've never walked this path under my feet
          Dmaj7                          F#m          G       Dmaj7
  But the embers underfoot don't feel as if they will burn to me.
                                     F#m   G
  This is no longer the place that I know--ow
  Dmaj7                          F#m    G
  Tell me what it is you want to see
      Dmaj7                            F#m  G           Dmaj7
  I'm worried that it's something that I    can't guarantee--
                                    F#m  G   Dmaj7
  That anything will be the same anymor--or--ore.
 
    Dmaj7
 
CHORUS
 
 G                        A                 Bm G
  This fire's been burned out through time a---part
                                 A               Bm     G
  But I've been able to see more sparks as all's turned dark
                 A                        Bm        G
  This valley of ashes that I once roamed ain't the same
                                        A
  I'll see if one of these sparks turns into a flame
 
BRIDGE

  G                  D
  I thought that I'd leave it
 G              D                  G
  Even though I don't know what to do
  G                  D
  I thought that I'd leave it
    Bm                A
  A lonely wreck left behind down and blue

  I thought that I'd leave it

  I thought that I'd leave it
    Bm                A
  A lonely wreck left behind down and blue

  Dmaj7                          F#m  G
  Charcoal streaks run down your face now
  Dmaj7                             F#m  G
  Strike your last match and let it burn out--
    Dmaj7                   F#m G  Dmaj7
  --Side I see ash and rain fa--a--all.
 
    Dmaj7
