It was Really annoying how everyone got this wrong. Too play this song you need a capo on the 3rd fret. Practice the complicated chords, then play the song. It's a really good one. Verse chords: ? 000655 ?.000433 D 000232 A 002220 E 022100 G*300032 Chorus chords: D 000232 D.040232 D*024232 A 002220 G.300003 E*022030 E.002000 The basic pattern for each is: -Verse: ? ?. D A A E G* -Chorus: D D. D* A D D. D* A D D. D* A G. E* E. If you listen to the CD you can figure out the beginning (even though your supposed to play it this way the whole way through.) All below is approximate timing. It requires great finger picking skills. Not all of below is correct...just how i play it so it sounds good. Play it however you want. This is how it's done: [ ? ][ ?. ][ D ][ A ] E----------5----------------3----------2----------0----------0--------- A----5--------5-------3--------3----------3-------2----2-------2------- D------6---------6------4---------4----------2----2------2-------2----- G----------------------------------0---0-------------------2-------2--- B----0--------------------------------------------0-------------------- E---------------------0------------------------------------------------ [ A ][ E ] [ G ] E---------0-----------------------0---------------2----2----------2----2---- A---2--------2--------0----------------0-----------3----3----------3----3--- D-----2---------2-----1------------------0-----0----0----0-----0----0----0-- G---2------------2---------------------------------------------------------- B---------------------2----------------------------------------------------- E--------------------------0----------------3---------------3--------------- This G is played a different way in the song but, for playing for friends...this is the easiest. At the End of the song before the fade out, the E. is played for a while. LYRICS: Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone Suzanne the plans they made put an end to you I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song I just can't remember who to send it to CHORUS I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you again Won't you look down upon me Jesus You gotta help me make a stand You just got to see me through another day My body's achin' and my time is at hand And I won't make it any other way CHORUS I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you again I've been walkin' my mind to an easy time, my back turned towards the sun Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around But there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground CHORUS I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend now But I always thought that I'd see you baby, one more time again now ending Thought I'd see you one more time again There's just a few things coming my way this time around now Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you Fire and rain, now Have fun. It takes a while to play and sing since it's a relatively hard song. Play it for girls...they melt right there. Enjoy.
