ST. ELMO'S FIRE
Brian Eno, from album Another Green Word

Intro:
 -  -  -  -
 -  -  -  -
C - - -


Brown eyes and I were tired
We had walked and we had scrambled
Through the moors and through the briars
Through the endless blue meanders
                  
In the blue   August Moon
                  
In the cool   August Moon


Over the nights and through the fires
We went surging down the wires
Through the towns and on the highways
Through the storms in all their thundering
                  
In the blue   August Moon
                  
In the cool   August Moon


Then we rested in a desert
Where the bones were white as teeth sir
And we saw St. Elmo's fire
Splitting ions in the Ether

Solo over:
 -  -  -   - (4x)
C - - -           (4X)

In the blue   August Moon
                  
In the cool   August Moon
                  
In the blue   August Moon
                  
In the cool   August Moon
