[E]
[A]
I'll light the fire [F#m] while you place [A] the flowers [D] in the vase [A] that you bought [Bm] today.
[E]
[A] Staring [E] at the fire [F#m] for [A] hours and hours [D] while I [A] listen to [Bm] you [A] playing [E] your love [Bm] songs all [E] night long for [A] [E] me.
You
[F#m] know that [A] for me [D] it's [Am]
[A] comfortable [E] enough [F#m] just to [A] have you just fine [D] as [A] everything.
[Bm] Such [E]
[A] a [E] cozy room [F#m] with the windows [A] open and the lights [D] at night.
[A]
Even [Bm] sunshine [E]
[Bm] on that [E] fiery bench [A] for [E] you.
[F#m] I'll live [A] for you.
[D] [E] [Am]
[A] [E] Our house [F#m] is a very [A] very very fine house.
[D] You two cats [A] in the yard.
[D] I'm used to [A] this all how.
[D] Now everything [A] is easy [Bm] with you.
[E] And I'm [A] sinking in.

[D] [E]
[A] I'll light the fire [F#m] while you place [A] the flowers [Bm] in the vase that you bought today.
The flowers that [Dm] you bought [A] today.
[N] Okay so that's the gist of the song.
Here's the, excuse me a moment.
I'll just do an extreme close up here on the chords.
This is the chords I'm using.
There's a capo on the second fret.
[A] And what I'm doing is it's starting off with a G position as it would [G#] be on a normal neck under [A] normal circumstances.
I.e. you've got your finger here [F] on the string one fret five.
String five fret four.
String six fret five.
And then there's a walking [E] down sequence.
[F#m]
[B] So [A] from the G position you start off with all you do is you take your [G#] second finger off.
And move your first finger over [A]
onto the string six.
Strum for your second chord.
And [F#m] then that's [F#] an E minor under [Bm] normal pretenses which [F#] is just holding down on fret [G] four the strings [F#m] four and five.
Okay.
[A] And then you're back onto G again.
[D] Then we've got a C.
And I'm doing this particular C.
You've got a normal C shape.
[G] But you can also put your little finger on the fifth string and your third finger on the bottom E string.
So [D] you've got a fuller sounding C that you can really wring out.
[A] And then back to G [B] on these two little turnaround chords [F#] which [Bm] you've got.
[E] [Bm]
[E] [Bm] This is a variation on a C chord here.
So you've got your
[F] string two fret three [Bm] and string four fret four.
For that one.
And then you keep your first finger as a [E] pivot and you're [G#] just holding down strings one and three on the [E] fourth.
[Bm] [E]
[B] [A] [E]
[B] This other part of the [C] turnaround chord here all I'm doing [N] is string one fret five and string two and three on fret [B] seven.
[A]
[E] [F#m] [A]
[D] [A]
[N] So you keep using those chords.
[A] The bit [Bm] which is different when it's
[D] When you go from C to this.
[Am] [A]
[C] This chord here which you'll need [C] just at the end of a couple of the verses [Am] is a bar [D] on the fifth fret.
[G#] And you've got a string two fret six and string four fret [Am] seven.
[A] [E] [F#m]
[G] Okay I think that's all the chords you'll need for that one.
[D#] Good luck with that one.
Thanks for watching Barnab.
