Version 1 Version 2
            [Verse 1]
Am             C          G            Am
Watch that old fire as it flickers and dies
     C                G             D          
That once blessed the household and lit up our lives
    C             G               D           Am
It shone for the friends and the clinking of glasses
     Am            C            G            Am
I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashes


[Verse 2]
Am          C               G             Am
Capture the wild things and bring them in line
    C            G           D       
And own what was never your right to confine
    C             G             D              Am
The lives and the loves and the songs are what matters
     Am            C            G            Am
I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashes


[Verse 3]
Am          C           G              Am
Do you feel heavy? Your eyes drop with grief
     C         G             D           
Your spirit is wild and your suffering is brief
   C         G          D           Am
So never you buckle and bend to the masses
     Am            C            G            Am
I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashes


[Verse 4]
Am            C           G               Am
Get round the fire with a glass of strong ale
    C         G           D        
And tell us a story from beyond the pale
C         G         D                  Am
Bury some seeds and expect some strong branches
     Am            C            G            Am
I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashes


[Verse 5]
Am            C            G            Am
Now show me a man that can meet all his needs
    C            G           D        
For what we need most now is unity's seed:
  C          G            D              Am
A common old song for all creeds and all classes
     Am            C            G            Am
I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashes

     Am            C  
I'll tend to the flame...


[Verse 6]
Am              C        G           Am
What will we do when the world it is ending
     C         G           D             
And time it is halted for friend and for foe?
C           G         D          Am
Try to hold on to the time as it passes
     Am            C            G            Am
I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashes
     Am            C            G            Am
I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashes
     Am            C            G            Am
I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashes
