[Intro]
D G
[Verse 1]
D
True that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree
Willow dancin' on air before covering me
G
Under cotton and calicos
D
Over canopy dappled long ago
D
True that love in withdrawal was the weepin' of me
That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree
G
Must be felled for to fight the cold
D
Fretted fire but that was long ago
[Chorus]
D Bm G D
But that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
Bm G D
When I'm set alight (Oh, oh)
Bm A G
And I blink in sight (Oh, oh)
G
Of your blinding light (Oh, oh)
D Bm G D
Oh, it's not tonight (Oh, oh)
Bm G D
When you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
Bm A G
And the fire bright (Oh, oh)
G
Oh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)
D G D G
Oh, but you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
D G D
But you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)
[Instrumental]
D G
[Verse 2]
D
With the roar of the fire, my heart rose to its feet
Like the ashes of ash I saw rise in the heat
G
Settled soft and as pure as snow
D
I fell in love with the fire long ago
D
With each love I cut loose, I was never the same
Watching still-living roots be consumed by the flame
G
I was fixed on your hand of gold
D
Layin' waste to my lovin' long ago
[Chorus]
D Bm G D
But that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
Bm G D
I'm set alight (Oh, oh)
Bm A G
And I blink in sight (Oh, oh)
G
Of your blinding light (Oh, oh)
D Bm G D
Oh, and it's not tonight (Oh, oh)
Bm G D
Where you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
Bm A G
And the fire bright (Oh, oh)
G
Oh, let it blaze alright, honey (Oh, oh)
D G D G
Oh, but you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
D G Bm G Bm Em G
Oh but you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)
[Verse 3]
D
So in awe, there I stood as you licked off the grain
Though I've handled the wood, I still worship the flame
G
Long as amber of ember glows
D
All the "would" that I'd loved is long ago
[Chorus]
D Bm G D
And it's not tonight (Oh, oh)
Bm G D
Where I'm set alight (Oh, oh)
Bm A G
And I blink in sight (Oh, oh)
G
Of your blinding light (Oh, oh)
D Bm G D
Oh, it's not tonight (Oh, oh)
Bm G D
Where you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
Bm A G
And the fire bright (Oh, oh)
G
Oh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)
D G D G
Oh, you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
D G
Oh, but you're good to me (Oh, oh)
D G D G D G
Oh, oh, you're good to me, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
D G D
Oh, but you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)
