Fire On the Mountain Chords & Lyrics by Grateful Dead
Fire On the Mountain
guitar chords lyrics
B A
Long distance runner, what you standin there for?
B A
Get up, get out, get out of the door
B A
Your playin cold music on the barroom floor
B A
Drowned in your laughter and dead to the core.
B A
There's a dragon with matches that's loose on the town
B A
Takes a whole pail of water just to cool him down.
B A
Fire! fire on the mountain!
B A
Almost ablaze still you don't feel the heat
B A
It takes all you got just to stay on the beat.
B A
You say it's a livin, we all gotta eat
B A
But you're here alone, there's no one to compete.
B A
If mercys a busness, I wish it for you
B A
More than just ashes when your dreams come true.
B A
Fire! fire on the mountain!
B A
Long distance runner, what you holdin out for?
B A
Caught in slow motion in a dash for the door.
B A
The flame from your stage has now spread to the floor
B A
You gave all you had. why you wanna give more?
B A
The more that you give, the more it will take
B A
To the thin line beyond which you really can't fake.
B A
Fire! fire on the mountain!
