FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN
Grateful Dead

VERSE 1:
B                              A
Long distance runner, what you standin' there for
B                             A
Get up, get out,          get out of the door
B                                 A
You're playin' cold music on the barroom floor
B                             A
Drowned in your laughter and dead to the core
B                                    A
There's a dragon with matches that's loose on the town
B                                   A
Takes a whole pail of water just to cool him down

CHORUS:
B                 A
Fire, fire on the mountain
B                 A
Fire, fire on the mountain
B                 A
Fire, fire on the mountain
B                 A
Fire, fire on the mountain

VERSE 2:
B                       A
Almost ablaze still you don't feel the heat
B                            A
It takes all you got just to stay on the beat
B                                   A
You say it's a livin', we all gotta eat
B                                 A
But you're here alone, there's no one to compete
B                        A
If mercy's a business, I wish it for you
B                              A
More than just ashes when your dreams come true

[CHORUS]

VERSE 3:
B                              A
Long distance runner, what you holdin' out for
B                          A
Caught in slow motion in a dash for the door
B                                 A
The flame from your stage has now spread to the floor
B                             A
You gave all you had. why you wanna give more
B                           A
The more that you give, the more it will take
B                                 A
To the thin line beyond which you really can't fake

[CHORUS]
