Mellencamp John Cougar - Paper In Fire guitar tab

Paper in Fire - John Cougar Mellencamp (1987)

B7(no 3rd) E/B B5

She had a dream and boy it was a good one

B7(no 3rd) E/B B5

So she chased after her dream with much desire

B7(no 3rd) E/B B5

But when she got too close to her expectations

A E B5

Well the dream burned up like paper in fire

Chorus:

D B5

Paper in fire, stinkin' up the ashtray

A E

Paper in fire, smokin' up the alley ways

A E

Who's to say the way a man should spend his days

A E B5

Do you let them smolder like paper in fire?

He wanted live with no involvement

So he chased the wind that's all his silly life required

And the days of vanity went on forever

And he saw his days burn up like paper in fire

Chorus

Interlude

D B5 D E D B5 E A D B5

There is a good life right across this green field

And each generation stares at it from afar

But we keep no check on our appetites

So the green fields turn to brown like paper in fire

Chorus

Chords: B7(no 3rd) x242xx

E/B x22100

B5 x244xx
