Fires (Which Burn Brightly)Procol HarumChords

Intro

Cm A/C♯ -7 Dm

This war we are waging is already lost

B/D♯ -7

The cause for the fighting has long been a ghost

GMalice and hF♯mabit Am have now won the Eday

Em Aadd9 D D7 Gsus4-3

The honours we fought for are lost in the fray

Intro

Standards and bugles are trod in the dust

Wounds have burst open, and corridors rust

Once proud and truthful, now humbled and bent

Fires which burnt brightly, now energies spent

Solo on

Em Aadd9 Bass down (G,F,E♭,D,C, B♭,A,G)

Intro

Let down the curtain, and exit the play

The crowds have gone home and the cast sailed away

Our flowers and feathers as scarring as weapons

Our poems and letters have turned to deceptions

Solo on

Em A Bass down (G,F,E♭,D,C, B♭,A,G)
