Set the Prairie on Fire – Shawn Colvin
Capo 2 (makes it F#)
In the bridge, play the D in C shape up 2 frets
[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
