Fire at midnight

(início)

G    C        Am       Em      Em
I believe in fires at midnight
          G        G         Am
when the dogs have all been fed.
   G      C    Am      Em
A golden toddy on the mantle
  C        G     G         Am
a broken gun beneath the bed.
 F      F       C        Am
Silken mist outside the window.
  G        G         G       Am
Frogs and newts slip in the dark
 F        F     C         Am
too much hurry ruins the body.
G        G         G        D
I'll sit easy ... fan the spark
 G       C      Am   Em      Em
kindled by the dying embers
     G      G       Am
of another working day.
 G     C             Am        Em      Em
Go upstairs ... take off your makeup
 G          G      Am
fold your clothes neatly away.
 F        F        C         Am
Me, I'll sit and write this love song
G    G        G      Am
as I all too seldom do
 F       F      C         Am
build a little fire this midnight.
      G       G      D      A(sus2)
It's good to be back home with you.
