08 Fires (Which Burnt Brightly) Brooker / Reid "Home" Intro: Cm G G7/B Cm Fm Fm6 G7b9 G7 Cm/G G5 G7/B Cm Fm Fm6 G7b9 G7 Cm

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 

G           F#m  Am                  E
Malice and habit    have now won the day 

Em              Aadd9      D    D7         G4-3
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 Cm A Dm B G F#m Am E

Em Aadd9  Bass down (G,F,Eb,D,C, Bb,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 Cm A Dm B G F#m Am E

Em A  Bass down (G,F,Eb,D,C, Bb,A,G)
