Judy Collins - Slow burn

I had a ^Gslow burn ^Ffor you darling ^C We were ^Gwalking by the ^Friver ^C I was ^Gyoung and a ^Ffool, darling ^C I didn't ^Gknow about ^Fforever ^C

We took a ^Gtrain to ^FVermont, darling ^C We skied the ^Gmountains ^Fin the west ^C And all the ^Gwhile the ^Ffire smouldered ^C I felt it ^Gburning in ^Fmy chest ^Eb

We were ^Fwalking by the ^Cocean ^Eb On the ^Fcoast of Cali^Cfornia ^Eb I felt that ^FI should tell ^Cyou something But then the ^Fmoment ^Gpassed ^C

Life went ^Gon for us, ^Fdarling ^C (I was never very far) We went ^Gour separate ^Fways ^C (But I had to stay away) I very ^Gseldom thought of ^Fyou, darling ^C (Hard to remember) The past was ^Gall a ^Fhaze ^Eb

Then I ^Fsaw you in the ^Ccity ^Eb (Couldn't believe my eyes) Your eyes ^Flit up and ^Cso did mine ^Eb (There was so much to say) We walked to^Fgether by the ^Creservoir ^F (Hold my hand) And shared a glass of ^Gwine ^C

The time has^G passed away, ^Fdarling ^C I thought the ^Gflame was ^Fburning out ^C I had my ^Glife to ^Flive, darling ^C Could I let ^Ggo of any ^Fdoubt ^Eb

When I ^Fsaw you that day in the ^Ccity ^Eb (Memories floated back) I suffered ^Fsuch a sur^Cprise ^Eb (It all was such a surprise) The fire was ^Flit and the ^Cslow burn started ^F Had it never ^Gdied ^C

Now there's a ^Gslow burn, ^Fdarling ^C (Just like there'd been before) Like a ^Gsweet and ^Fsmoky song ^C (A longing in our hearts) And what I ^Gdidn't know, ^Fdarling ^C (Maybe this was meant to be) Was that your ^Glove was ^Fnever gone

I have a ^Cslow burn I have a ^Amslow burn I have a ^Gslow burn For ^Cyou I have a ^Cslow burn I have a ^Amslow burn I have a ^Gslow burn For ^Cyou
