Misc Originals – Aaron Kilty - Homefires Burn (Guitar)

          G                  C
There's a house on the edge of the plains,

        G                        D
Where the wind sings songs through windowpanes.

          G                     C
Mama's laugh still lingers in the air,

            G                D       G
And Daddy's boots are still sitting by the stairs.

             C               G
The homefires burn though the night feels cold,

              D              G
Where the stories live and the memories hold.

          C              G
Every crack in the wood, every note in the song,

              D                 G
Tells a tale of a place where I belong.

         G                        C
Brother’s guitar's got a broken string,

        G                           D
But it still plays sweet when the family sings.

           G                       C
Grandpa's chair creaks by the firelight,

             G                D          G
His stories carry us through the longest nights.

             C               G
The homefires burn though the night feels cold,

              D              G
Where the stories live and the memories hold.

          C              G
Every crack in the wood, every note in the song,

              D                 G
Tells a tale of a place where I belong.

            C                  G
When the miles get long and the world feels strange,

         D                     G
I think of the faces and the seasons change.

          C                        G
It’s not the walls or the roof or the floor,

             D                G
It's the love inside that keeps calling me for more.

           G                  C
So I'll keep these strings and these stories alive,

          G                     D
Carry them with me wherever I ride.

            G                   C
For the house may fade but the fire remains,

           G            D        G
A beacon of hope through the winds and rains.
