The dy-ing em-bers of the night

A FIRE THAT SLOW-LY FADES TILL DAWN
-6*   -6*  6  6  -5*  -5* 4*  -3
still glow up-on the wall so bright 
 -7   7*  -7   7*  -7   7*
BURN-ING BURN-ING BURN-ING
 6   6 -5*   -5*    5*  -5*  6  5*
The tir-ed streets that hide a-way 
 7*   7* -6* -6* 6    6    5*  6
FROM HERE TO EV-‘RY-WHERE THEY GO
