Capo 5
Am C 2x
Am C
And all we have are rags and bones
Am C
Just hold my hand and don't let go
G Am
Cause though the night is cold
F
We'll carry the fire
G Am
And though there's no way home
F
We'll carry the fire
Am C
When the husks of men haunt the road
Am C
Just hold your breath and hold fast hope
G Am
Cause though the night is cold
F
We'll carry the fire
G Am
And though there's no way home
F
We'll carry the fire
Dm
We'll carry the fire
C Am C G
The shadows hang like shrouds of flayed
Am F
A light is shining
Dm C Am C G
No woolen fades no walking dead
Am F
Shall quench it's flame
Dm C Am C G
And shudder tomes and shaking starts
Am F
A light is shining
Dm C Am C G
The barren wounds, the broken hearts
Am F
Shall know it's name
G Am
Cause though the night is cold
C F
We'll carry the fire
G Am
And though there's no way home
C F
We'll carry the fire (2x)
G Am
And when my body's cold
C F
You'll carry the fire
G Am
And when I'm finally home
C F
You'll carry the fire
