Song For The Fireflies by Josh Ritter
Song For The Fireflies
Capo:3rd fret
[Verse 1]
G
After all the lights had died
G/F#
Out behind the palisades park
Em
Fireflies remembered to do
C
Exactly what they were supposed to
G
Memories were like coins that tumbled
G/F#
Somersaulting through the deep
Em
Down every well we threw them in
C Am
Until they came to the top again and out
Em
Like the sun
Am C
In your hair, in your hair
[Verse 2]
G
Every month that ends its spin
G/F#
Is picked up by the moon for keeping
Em
Clean and safe from accidents
C
Sheltered from the elements
G
But June is like an echo
G/F#
Of the sounds we never made
Em
I swear they find me in my waking hours
C
Thirty days like poison flowers
Am Em
The wind in your hair
Am C
Like a sigh, like a sigh
[Verse 3]
G
With intermittent rain and shine
G/F#
The sky re-started six or seven times
Em
It's blue because it sees
C
All our infidelities
G
We both know that it's been so long
G/F#
I'm not sure what to say so I hope
Em
Fireflies remember to do
C
Exactly what it was they used to
