Chords

This is someone else's tab just in an easier fingering. The song is in Eb so any variation will work, but C shapes are the easiest in my opinion. Narrow Stairs All chords in relation to capo --------- -Verse 1- ---------
Am                         C                 G
     When the wind picked up the fire spread

                      D                 Am
And the grapevines seemed left for dead

                   C                             G
And the Northern sky looked like the end of days

                Em
The end of days

Am                    C                 G
     The wake-up call to a rented room

                  D                      Am
Sounded like an alarm of impending doom
C G (hold twice as long) To warn us it's only a matter of time -------- -Chorus- --------
              Am        C        G        D
Before we all burn

              Am        C        G        Em
Before we all burn

              Am        C        G        D
Before we all burn

              Am        C        G (hold G)
Before we all burn
--------- -Verse 2- ---------
Am                   C                        G
      We bought some wine and some paper cups

                    D                            Am
Near your daughters school when we picked her up

               C               G
And drove to a cemetery on a hill

       Em
On a hill

Am                         C                     G
      And we watched the plumes paint the sky gray

                    C                               Am
But she laughed and danced through the field of graves

             C                    G
And there I knew it would be alright

          D
That everything
-------- -Chorus- --------
           Bm         D         A         E
Would be alright

           Bm         D         A         Fm
Would be alright

           Bm         D         A         E
Would be alright

           Bm         D         A (hold A)
Would be alright
-------- -Bridge- --------
B                               C
     And the news reports on the radio

            G             Am
Said it was getting worse

             C                  Em
As the ocean air fanned the flames

B
     But I couldn't think

   C                   G           Am
Of anywhere I would of rather been

            C          D
To watch it all burn away
-------- -Chorus- --------
         Am        C         G         D
To burn away
Am C G Em Am C G D Am C G (hold G) Am C G D Am C G Em Am C G D Am C G (hold G) ------- -Outro- -------
Am                      C                   G
      And the firemen worked in double shifts

                 D                Am
With prayers for rain on their lips

                     C                 G (fade)
And they knew it was only a matter of time
