[Intro]
D Am D G Am D G
[Verse]
Am G C G High along the John Muir trail, from Whitney toward Star King Am Em C D G Lon and I set pace to reach Yosemite that spring Am G C G And like some dream of Gulliver, we spied El Capitan Am Em C D C Wild gables, spires and granite walls, not shaped by any man G C D Night fell like talus from the stone and Loni said to me
[Chorus]
C D G G/F# Em Douse the fire, but keep the flame Am D G 'Til morning warms old Tuolemne C D G G/F# Em Douse the fire, but keep the flame Am D G 'Til morning warms old Tuolemne
[Verse]
D Am G C G Black bear roamed the tamarack, from Cloud's Rest to Cock's Comb Am Em C D C Where silent snowmelts filled the streams that burst and thundered down G C D And where Tanaya caught the moon, Loni said to me
[Chorus]
C D G G/F# Em Douse the fire, but keep the flame Am D G 'Til morning warms old Tuolemne C D G G/F# Em Douse the fire, but keep the flame Am D G 'Til morning warms old Tuolemne
[Verse]
D Am G C G From Dogwood and Sequoia stands, we climbed the Vernal Trail Am Em C D C By Big-leaf, maple shine with mist, we scaled the Bridal Veil G C D And where Half-Dome, the hooded hawk, set her shadow free
[Chorus]
C D G G/F# Em We doused the fire, but kept the flame Am D G 'Til morning warms old Tuolemne C D G G/F# Em Douse the fire, but keep the flame Am D G 'Til morning warms old Tuolemne
[Instrumental]
D Am D G Am D G Am D
[Verse]
Am G C G Now I know around Cathedral Peak, the seasons cloud and clear Am Em C D C And it seems I can't quite count the years since Lon and I were there G C D Still when all the darkness falls, it's Loni close to me
[Chorus]
C D G G/F# Em Douse the fire, but keep the flame Am D G 'Til morning warms old Tuolemne C D G G/F# Em Douse the fire, but keep the flame Am D G 'Til morning warms old Tuolemne
