[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D G D
She was pure as a virgin when first she came my way
G D
But her blue eyes were hungry for the words I had to say
G A D
Barely turned twenty and eager to meet the world
G A D
It's a gentle fire that burns in an innocent girl
[Verse 2]
G D
Her momma kept her straight so she never ever saw the lights
G D
Of the dim lit places where I sang my songs each night
G A D
She done caught hold of something Lord she couldn't let go
G A D
And now her gentle fire's startin' to make me glow
[Chorus]
A D
And it's a gentle fire that starts from a little spark
G Em A D
And we'd sit for hours in the corner and talk in the dark
D A D
Then she'd squeeze my hand and softly whisper my name yeah
C A D D D
And now a gentle fire starts turnin' into a flame
[Verse 3]
G D
And then one night she stayed till closing time
G D
And she said I want to be alone with you tonight
G A D
Then she took me into her own little secret world
G A D
Now a rangin' fire burns in my innocent girl
[Chorus]
A D
And it's a gentle fire that starts from a little spark
G Em A D
And we'd sit for hours in the corner and talk in the dark
D A D
Then she'd squeeze my hand and softly whisper my name yeah
C A D
And now a gentle fire starts turnin' into a flame
[Outro]
