In the bridge, play the D in C shape up 2 frets [Intro] Em Em7 [Verse 1]
Em7                       D
Full full moon and That same sad nature

Em                                   D           Am
I wanna cover every inch of you Like ink on paper

Em                             D
Like the blind parade of souls Consumed by religion

Em                                       D          Am       D
I can't wait 'til I get you In that defenseless position
[Chorus]
Em        D                  Em     Am     Asus
When we   set the prairie on fire… Oh…

     Em                    D
We go down to the water

D           C   D        Em
Naked and slow You and me

D                    Em  Am           Em             D
And the heart of desire    We set the prairie on fire

D                        Em7     D    Am         Em
How hard will the wind blow      How far will it go
[Verse 2]
Em                                   D
When the feeling burns down   To one solitary color

Em                       D                    C
The velocity of longing  Melting into each other

Em                              D
It's a song our fingers play   All at once and together

Em                                           D      Am         D
You can bet we never learned it  But we've known it forever… Oh….
[Verse 3]
Em                                D
I dreamed that we were flying  Carried up from the ashes

Em                                         D            C
Black silhouettes of velvet   Against the crimson of passion

Em                                       D
We can almost hear the echoes   From the smoldering meadow

Em                                   D                 Am       D
It's the rapture of the angels   And the rage of the devil
[Chorus]
Em              D           Em     A  Asus  A
When we set the prairie on fire   Oh…oh..

      Em                D
We go down to the water

D           C     D       Em      D
Naked and slow   You and me,     Oh…

D                 Em     Am            Em          D
And the heart of desire   We set the prairie on fire

D                      Em7    D  Am           Em
How hard will the wind blow  How far will it go
[Bridge]
C                            D
In the cool dusk of horses Through the rusted wires of sleep

C                              D
With our arms around midnight  We're headed for release

C                           D
We go riding in the wind   We go riding in the dark

C                     D    Em
Go riding, riding…… Oh….
[Instrumental] Em D Em7 D Em D Em7 D Am D Em7 [Chorus]
Em              D           Em     A      Asus  A
When we set the prairie on fire     Oh…oh…

     Em                  D
We go down to the water

D          C    D      Em           D
Naked and slow You and me   You and me…..

D                    Em    Am         Em               D
And the heart of desire    We set the prairie on fire

D                        Em7      D    Am           Em
How hard will the wind blow        How far will it go

D               Em7        D
How far will it go

D               Em7        D
How far will it go

D               Em7        D
How far will it go

  Am            Em7        D
How far will it go

Em7    D        Em7     D    Em7      D   Am   Em7
