Hi!
This is a great song by a great Australian artist!
The way I play is super simple on guitar, just 4 chords over and over again!
tldr: Am, F, C, G
When playing the G, I try to skip over the high E string, as it changes the sound vastly. Try it and see
what I mean! I've also been experimenting with the G being
E|--0--
B|--1--
G|--0--
D|--0--
A|--2--
E|--3--
as I think it sounds really nice during the verses. For the intro keep the original G, and for the
last lines of the verses. But yeah, those 4 chords over and over, but in case you want to follow
the lyrics too, (and I think I got the timings right) here goes:
Am
He draws out, the cigarette smoke trail spins
F
Thoughts crowd the room, 'til it's only him
C
He feels it, he lives for it
G
Spent half a life pushing it forward, what he wouldn't give for it
Am
Saw naysayers put in their places
F
Feels like he's scaling the foothills of greatness
C
Holding all four aces, he braced
G
for the next few years being some for the ages
Am
No time to heed, pride come before the fall
F
For now he shines, all rose, no thorn
C
Full bloom, like his plan fool proof
G
High noon sun beaming, spoke too soon
Am
The dark clouds scream towards his door
F
and a house of cards, it cant stand in the storm
C
Wind picked up, sunshine stopped
G
The world came down with the very first drop
Am F
So light me up, like a cigarette
C G
And just let me burn, catch fire, and burn, catch fire and burn
Am F
Light a spark, and ignite it in the dark
C G
So when I'm no more they'll know I was here before, so let me just burn
Am
He still gunning, beaten but refused to be broken
F
What some call delusional others call focus
C
Man he's focussed, came back for the re up
G
Nows not the time to kick back with his feet up
Am
Stands in the rain with his face to the heavens
F
And his arms outstretched from the pain that he let in
C
World keep kicking hard, aint gonna get him
G
He's willing to fight and die for the path that he heads in
Am
And thats a bittersweet faith
F
Knowing high and lows will come boy but them's the breaks
C G
It's pride, it's madness, it's seeing what others can only imagine
And then reaching out to grab it
Am
Saying "I can say that whatever comes happens
F
but I followed my heart, goddamn it"
C
Exposing reality to magic
G
It's hope, and thats all it is, he walked through fire and its all he came back with, saying
Am F
So light me up, like a cigarette
C G
And just let me burn, catch fire, and burn, catch fire and burn
Am F
Light a spark, and ignite it in the dark
C G
So when I'm no more they'll know I was here before, so let me just burn
Am
Come what may, some memories fade
F
But some stay as vivid as the moment they were made
C
Dreams of the days where he stood like a mountain
G
It's been a while since then but who's counting
Am F C
He lies awake, lies in wait, for the light of the morning to bless him, and shine again
Summon the rise of the fallen
G
Laces tied, comeback trail still walking
Am F
Lives for it, lifetime on the mish for it
Man, there aint a thing he didn't give for it
C
Make a bet till his last sun sets
G
He'll be pushing for the light, mate he ain't done yet
Am
Head held high slow danced through his hell
F
Still a point there he gotta prove to himself
C
And, the beat drops, same songs on next
G
So he sparks up a cigarette, takes a deep breath and says
Am F
So light me up, like a cigarette
C G
And just let me burn, catch fire, and burn, catch fire and burn
Am F
Light a spark, and ignite it in the dark
C G
So when I'm no more they'll know I was here before, so let me just burn
Am F
So light me up, like a cigarette
C G
And just let me burn, catch fire, and burn, catch fire and burn
Am F
Light a spark, and ignite it in the dark
C G
So when I'm no more they'll know I was here before, so let me just burn
