Am                      Bb
There once lived a man  long ago
Am                Bb
In a land of days dark and cold
C                         Dm7(b5)
Blessed with gifted hands  some wood and stone
C                           Dm7(b5)                G7sus4
Birthed a glowing flame that none had known

Dm7(b5)                  G7sus4
The people gathered around
Dm7(b5)             C       G7sus4        C         G7sus4
From every land and town

             Gb
They'd never seen such a wonder 
     Fm
Such warmth and such light
Gb                         Fm
Dancing and blazing throughout the cold nights
   Ab7M                           G7sus4                      C       Bb
He showed them how they too could make such a fire with their own two hands
           C       Bb
With their own two hands
          A                               G#m
Well  the priests and the preachers  they heard of this man
        F#m7                      Bm7                F#
How his teachings of fire quickly spread through the land
     D                             E                          A           G#7(b13)
They feared such a power ought not rest in the hands of plain men
            C#m7                G#
So they conspired to end him in secret you see 
        D#                        A#                          D#         Fm
But the people wanted answers  so quite cleverly they built a shrine and throne 
        D#                    Fm
For the man  the wood and the stone

C                Bb
People worshiped on
C                    Bb
But oh the flame was gone
              Am             D             Am              E7sus4
And they were taught "man is evil  he must do as the law requires 
            F6         D               Am
And he must never  but never play with fire
