Fireside Song

Intro: E F#m B x2

    F#m                  B               E   E7
As daybreak breaks the mist upon the earth
F#m                    B              C#m     A     B
it came to pass that beauty settled there forever more
    F#m                   B                  E    E7
and as the steam clings close to things to come
   F#m                 B             C#m       A      B
it came to pass that solid rock did part for humble life

(Key shifts one semitone up)
F             F7                     A#
once upon a time there was confusion
                 C                   F
disappointment, fear and disillusion
F                   F7                     A#
now there's hope reborn with every morning
                  C                   F7
see the future clearly at its dawning
          F                A#           C
forever drifting slowly towards a hazy emptiness
         F           C7
whilst water slips into the sea
     A#               C            C7
the father's sad to see it's free

    Gm              C                   F     F7
As shadows creep towards their master night
Gm                     C               Dm        A#          C
it came to pass that trees defied the wind who shook their leaves
    Gm               C            F    F7
and as the peace descended all around
    Gm                C                 Dm       A#       C
it came to pass that nature's creatures came to face the world
