Intro: F G | Am | F

F                 G
Someone’s selling garden roses
                 F
Down the square,
                 G
People gathering by to breathe
                 F
The morning air,
                    G
But no one sees the bitter cold
   G₇          Am
And shivering empty hands.

F                   G
A schoolgirl running by and trying
                  F
To beat the bell,
                G
People dropping, tossing coins
   Em           F
In wishing wells,
                     G
But no one cares for dreams
             G₇      Am
That don’t fit into our world.

Chorus:
     Am₇  F               G
     Maybe nightfall
        Em₇      Am
     Darkens skies
              F          G
     And maybe teardrops
              Em₇  Am
     Stain our eyes,
                 F               G
     But may the slightest light
                   F
     Start a fire.

  F              G
A soldier in the hands
                    F
Of a forgotten mess
                G               Em₇
Digging out the burning bullets
         F
In his chest,
                   G
So eager, bold and noble –
         G₇         Am
Printing footsteps on this earth.

Chorus:
             F           G
     And maybe nightfall
        Em₇      Am
     Darkens skies
            F            G
     And maybe teardrops
               Em       Em₇  Am
     Stain our eyes,
             F                   G
     But may the slightest light
             Am    E₇
     Start a fire,
           C       D    F
     Start a fire.
   C             Dm              E      E₇
     But may the slightest light
               Am
     Start a fire.
