lyrics

While Oregon Burns

E B A
(Gtr/Bass Hook, Chorus)
I’m Fiddling while Oregon Burns
‘Cause I only got this guitar, son
You can listen, toss a coin, and run
Before the fires wreck up Oregon, again

I’m Fiddling while Oregon Burns
Cause I only got a harp and drum
You and listen, toss a coin, and run
Before the smoke blots out the sun

C#m A G E
(Verse 1)

I feel so alone now
As the wind turns the wrong way
Just like a ember in the breeze

Water-bottle runs low
But river runs green
Tell me is the forest nothing but the trees?

Chorus
As I Fiddle while Oregon Burns
Cause I only got a harp and drum
You and listen, toss a coin, and run
Before the smoke blots out the sun

(Hook, harp solo)
(Verse 2)
I’ll pray for the rain
Forget about the pain
Some say it’s only but a dream anyway

So I'll save up the sorrow
For all the tomorrows
Tears flow gently to a stream

As I fiddle while Oregon Burns
‘Cause I only got this guitar, son
You can listen, toss a coin, and run
Before the fires wreck up Oregon, again
