Set The Prairie On Fire Cifras

Set the Prairie on Fire – Shawn Colvin
 
Capo 2 (makes it F#)

[Intro]
Em Em7
 
[Verse 1]
Em7                       D
Full full moon and That same sad nature
Em                                   D           Am
I wanna cover every inch of you Like ink on paper
Em                             D
Like the blind parade of souls Consumed by religion
Em                                       D          Am       D
I can't wait 'til I get you In that defenseless position
 
[Chorus]
Em        D                  Em     Am     Asus
When we   set the prairie on fire… Oh…
     Em                    D
We go down to the water
D           C   D        Em
Naked and slow You and me
D                    Em  Am           Em             D
And the heart of desire    We set the prairie on fire
D                        Em7     D    Am         Em
How hard will the wind blow      How far will it go
 
[Verse 2]
Em                                   D
When the feeling burns down   To one solitary color
Em                       D                    C
The velocity of longing  Melting into each other
Em                              D
It's a song our fingers play   All at once and together
Em                                           D      Am         D
You can bet we never learned it  But we've known it forever… Oh….
 
[Verse 3]
Em                                D
I dreamed that we were flying  Carried up from the ashes
Em                                         D            C
Black silhouettes of velvet   Against the crimson of passion
Em                                       D
We can almost hear the echoes   From the smoldering meadow
Em                                   D                 Am       D
It's the rapture of the angels   And the rage of the devil
 
 
[Chorus]
Em              D           Em     A  Asus  A
When we set the prairie on fire   Oh…oh..
      Em                D
We go down to the water
D           C     D       Em      D
Naked and slow   You and me,     Oh…
D                 Em     Am            Em          D
And the heart of desire   We set the prairie on fire
D                      Em7    D  Am           Em
How hard will the wind blow  How far will it go
 
[Bridge]
 
C                            D
In the cool dusk of horses Through the rusted wires of sleep
C                              D
With our arms around midnight  We're headed for release
C                           D
We go riding in the wind   We go riding in the dark
C                     D    Em
Go riding, riding…… Oh….
 
[Instrumental]
Em    D    Em7    D     Em    D    Em7    D    Am    D    Em7
 
[Chorus]
Em              D           Em     A      Asus  A
When we set the prairie on fire     Oh…oh…
     Em                  D
We go down to the water
D          C    D      Em           D
Naked and slow You and me   You and me…..
D                    Em    Am         Em               D
And the heart of desire    We set the prairie on fire
D                        Em7      D    Am           Em
How hard will the wind blow        How far will it go
D               Em7        D
How far will it go
D               Em7        D
How far will it go
D               Em7        D
How far will it go
  Am            Em7        D
How far will it go
 
Em7    D        Em7     D    Em7      D   Am   Em7
