[Intro]

G C G C G

[Verse 1]

G C
Mind your step as you make your way

G C G
Through the church in to this world of sand

Bb
Picture an angle with a cigarette burnin

C
With a long slow drag

G
She welcomes you in where you'll be

G
Dancing in the low light

C G
Sweat dripping down like a dew

Bb
Scratchin metal and a cry and moan

C
And lightning in a bottle in the back of a room

[Chorus]

G Bb C
Fire, fire from the inside

G Bb C
Rhythm, like a hurricane rain

G Bb C
Mercy, comes after midnight

Eb F G
While you're washing me down with the sound of your National Steel

[Verse 2]

G
Took its smile on a wild rose

C G
Born in the heat of the south

Bb
Your kisses they went to my head like a whiskey

C
She was a bootlegged love with her stockings rolled down

G
People cried to cry as a wolf starts to howl, howled like a midnight train

Bb
Roll on, roll on, rolled like a river

C
A shot of burning silver pounding through my feet like fire
