Burn One Down chords by Clint Black

Burn One Down  Clint Black     Rick in Macon

Recorded in G, but easier for most voices in C (the key of this tab)

N.C.              C
I guess you're off to have your fun
           D7
another ending just begun
            F
and I know what I don't see
            G  G7
really shouldn't bother me

NC            C
so go and have yourself a ball
                D7
you'll be at no one's beck and call
              F                G7
and with that fire in your eyes, another lover's moon will rise
              C   C7
someone else will take the fall

CHORUS:
              F
and that's just the way you are
        Am   C
I've known all along
          D   D7
some candles always burn
            G   G7
even when the night is gone
            F
but the strongest of  flames
      Am     C
won't burn eternally
             F
so when you find another friend
             G7
who lights your candle up again
             C
you can burn one down for me

NC         C
So you don't matter anymore
              D7
I'll convince myself I'm sure
        F
as if I give a damn
           G  G7
that's just the way I am

C
So go on and pour yourself some wine
              D7
with who'll ever spend your time
         F              G7
cause anyone can see you won't be cryin' over me
            C
and you never were that kind

REPEAT CHORUS

END:
           F
when you find another friend
              G7
who'll light your candle up again
             F  Fm   C
you can burn one down for me
