intro = 8 times C#m

Touch me through your screen door
C#m
B
I want me to remember you
E
B
they there are behind me
C#m
not ever against the moon
Remember where we used to ride
underneath the power lines
inferno valley
when your father was alive
I worked for days and years
through the dust and the heat
I came around to see you
on highway burning feet
I spent my days at the mill
I came home and cared for you
the year that we lived
in secret fire
instrumental = verse
I took my razor blade
I laid Rubeun in the shade
I heard the radio
moan
I took my place in the hills
jagged with a secret fires
I called you through the valley
down along the wires
F#
With dust upon my eyes
G#m
came the first day of the year
B
C#m
I saw a house where no one lived
On the black land
and under red sky
you washed my hair and body
beside the firelight
So, touch me through your screen door
I want me to remember you
we struggled the year we lived in
C#m B C#m B C#m
secret fire
