Am Bb
There once lived a man long ago
Am Bb
In a land of days dark and cold
C Dm7(b5)
Blessed with gifted hands some wood and stone
C Dm7(b5) G7sus4
Birthed a glowing flame that none had known
Dm7(b5) G7sus4
The people gathered around
Dm7(b5) C G7sus4 C G7sus4
From every land and town
Gb
They’d never seen such a wonder
Fm
Such warmth and such light
Gb Fm
Dancing and blazing throughout the cold nights
Ab7M G7sus4 C Bb
He showed them how they too could make such a fire with their own two hands
C Bb
With their own two hands
A G#m
Well the priests and the preachers they heard of this man
F#m7 Bm7 F#
How his teachings of fire quickly spread through the land
D E A G#7(b13)
They feared such a power ought not rest in the hands of plain men
C#m7 G#
So they conspired to end him in secret you see
D# A# D# Fm
But the people wanted answers so quite cleverly they built a shrine and throne
D# Fm
For the man the wood and the stone
C Bb
People worshiped on
C Bb
But oh the flame was gone
Am D Am E7sus4
And they were taught (man is evil he must do as the law requires
F6 D Am
And he must never but never play with fire
