A             E         D             F#m
  Da-ba-da-da-da-dab-da   Da-ba-da-da-da-dab-da
A             E         D             F#m
  Da-ba-da-da-da-dab-da   Da-ba-da-da-da-dab-da

[Verse 1]
A                         E              Bm                   F#m
   Man worried about the big bomb flying,   worried about the ocean rising,
A                   E                 Bm                               F#m
   Thinkin' on the day that he'd die,    an' wondered if he were ever alive,
        A                    E                     Bm                  F#m
On the same day, he saw the big blue sky, was the same day, they were closing his eyes.

[Pre-Chorus]
A             E         D             F#m
  Da-ba-da-da-da-dab-da   Da-ba-da-da-da-dab-da
A             E         D             F#m
  Da-ba-da-da-da-dab-da   Da-ba-da-da-da-dab-da

[Verse 2]
A                       E            Bm                       F#m
   Man thinking on the history train,   an' wondered if he's partly to blame,
A                    E                 Bm               F#m
   Man torturing himself in his sleep,    men love, men lose, men weep,
        A                   E                         Bm                  F#m
On the same day, he saw a shift in his luck, was the same day he stopped givin a fuck.

[Pre-Chorus]
A              E        D             F#m
  Da-ba-da-da-da-dab-da   Da-ba-da-da-da-dab-da
A              E        D             F#m
  Da-ba-da-da-da-dab-da   Da-ba-da-da-da-dab-da

[Chorus 1]
A             E            D              F#m
  I lit the small fire, ma,  I don't know     who lit the big one.
A             E            D              F#m
  I lit the small fire, ma,  I don't know     who lit the big one.
A             E            D              F#m
  I lit the small fire, ma,  I don't know     who lit the big one.

[Verse 3]
A                    E               Bm                    F#m
  Worried about the run in his veins,   worried about the blood in his dreams,
A                           E                Bm                          F#m
  Scared sick, he's got a shake in his hands,   scared stiff of what he don't understand-ey,
A                          E                   Bm                         F#m
  you wanna sing like the little birds sing, bring yourself 'round and forget the whole thing.

[Pre-Chorus]
A             E         D             F#m
  Da-ba-da-da-da-dab-da   Da-ba-da-da-da-dab-da
A             E         D             F#m
  Da-ba-da-da-da-dab-da   Da-ba-da-da-da-dab-da

[Chorus 2]
A             E             D              F#m
  I lit the small fire, ma,   I don't know    who lit the big one.
A             E             D              F#m
  I lit the small fire, ma,   I don't know    who lit the big one.
A             E             D              F#m
  I lit the small fire, ma,   I don't know    who lit the big one.
A             E            D                     F#m
  I lit the small fire, I don't know who lit the big one.
