Tinderbox – For Ervin Munir

V1: G, Dm
Tinderbox, fascinated by fire
Kentish Town, chucked out once, but only by a hundred yards
C, G, C, G, Dm, G
I used to play guitar
As a teenager when I was getting nowhere
G, Dm
House of cards, loose on top with a foundation of hearts

Pre: C-Am-G, C-Am-F#Amthing
Life won’t know my name, but music is my flame

Chorus: C G Em D C D
To this day I’m a magical man
Kept the fire going so I can burn it up in other ways I am living in my days, living in my days

V2: G, Dm
Dorothy, love of mine in time turning blind
39, years we shared exchanged the ties that bind

Pre: C-Am-G, C-Am-F#Amthing
Cancer called her name
And peacefully she went

Chorus: C G Em D C D
To this day I’m a magical man
Kept the fire going so I can burn it up in other ways I am living in my days, living in my days

Bridge: Bm, Em, G, D, Bm, Em, (C) D
Nowadays I take the stage
And katherine comes around
Travelling for holidays
And changing up my house

Chorus: C G Em D C D
I’m a moon-eared magic music man
See the spark of my inspiration, turning words into a song, what could possibly be wrong? What could possibly be wrong?
