Verse 1:
A                Em7                  
Just yesterday morning 
             D             A   Asus2 - A
They let me know you were gone 
             E7 
Susanne the plans they made 
        G
Put an end to you 
A                   Em7            
I walked out this morning 
        D              A   Asus2 - A
And I wrote down this song 
               E7             
I just can't remember 
        G         D
Who to send it to 
Chorus:
A/C#       Bm       
I've seen fire 
     E7        A   Asus2 - A 
And I've seen rain 
      D         A/C#          
I've seen sunny days that I 
Bm             E7    A  Asus2 - A
Thought would never end 
             D   A/C#               
I've seen lonely times when I 
Bm         E7      A    Asus2 - A 
Could not find a friend 
        G      D/F#                 
But I always thought that I'd 
Em       A    A7
See you again 
Verse 2:
           A                  Em7
Won't you look down upon me, Jesus 
               D               A   Asus2 - A
You've got to help me make a stand 
                   E7         
You've just got to see me through 
G
Another day 
A          Em7            
My body's achin’ and my 
D           A   Asus2 – A 
Time is at hand 
             E7           
And I won't make it 
      G       D
Any other way 
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3:
        A               
Been walking my mind 
      Em7
To an easy time
    D                       A  Asus2 – A  
My back turned towards the sun 
A                    
Lord knows when the 
E7
Cold wind blows 
       G
It'll turn your head around 
                A         
Well, there's hours of time 
          Em7
On the telephone line 
    D                    A  Asus2 – A 
To talk about things to come 
A
Sweet dreams and 
E7
Flyin’ machines
     G                   
In pieces on the ground 
Chorus 2:
D   A/C#       Bm       
Oh, I've seen fire 
     E7        A   Asus2 - A
And I've seen rain 
            D   A/C#          
I've seen sunny days that I 
Bm              E7   A  Asus2 – A
Thought would never end 
             D   A/C#                
I've seen lonely times when I 
Bm         E7      A    Asus2 - A
Could not find a friend 
        G      D/F#         
But I always thought that 
    Em
I'd see you, baby
A7
One more time again 
Tag:
            G      
Thought I'd see you 
D/F#      Em        A
One more time again 
                G
There's just a few things 
D/F#      Em              A
Coming my way this time around, now 
             G    
Thought I'd see you
D/F#        Em                A
Thought I'd see you fire and rain, now (fading)
